Danielle's

1) I disagree, you can teach people art techniques. It is much harder for people to conceptually understand but it is not impossible to teach someone.

3.If I were to die and "become my past" as explained by Sartre, how would my artwork play a role in that                     
   process? Would my work become the past as well? Is it possible for my artwork to stay part of the present after I die? Your art work would be remembered by the ones who knew you and your art that is finished is already in the past.
