As we get into our studies in art at school, I have been hearing comments to the effect of "Art history is boring, it's not important and it has nothing to do with art."  Hahahaha you're joking right? Look guys, I know that history can seem a bit dull at times, but it is our foundation. It is where we start. All of our cultural ideas come from what others have dared to do in the past despite being ridiculed and rejected in their own time.  We study their techniques and apply them to our own work.  Art screams "APPROPRIATION!"! Without a background in the greats, how will you be able to enjoy gems like these.....

When I first saw this on the internet, I'll admit I laughed.  It's titled "Art is better with Cats".  I don't know if I'd say they're necessarily aesthetically better, but they are certainly are funnier.
