I really enjoyed our exploration of various topics during our unit on Art as an AoK. Your questions and insights were inherently (and explicitly) valuable to the upcoming Prescribed Title Essays. Additionally, Mr. Foster raised several critical issues today during his presentation, and our communal discussions hopefully guided your thinking about those essays. I wish we could continue our dialogue of Art, but even better topics await; we must move forward.
