Ocassionally, I like to think about what it would be like to be an artist
Same here, though I'm not particularly artsy enough to be one.
Well, artists are people who engage in creating art or demonstrations of art so you don't have to particularly 'artsy'. You can just have fun with it :D
That's true, I have wanted to paint ever since I started watching Bob Ross.
Ah, yes, Bob Ross. I think everyone has head of him at least once as he was an American painter, instructor, and television host with a lot of episodes that aspiring artisists watch
At this point he is basically a legend, which is great because he was such an amazing person.
Interestingly, in ancient Greece sculpturs and painters were considered low class between freeman and slaves
Really? They seem so talented!
Yup. I guess different 'art' was valued back then. 
There were probably a lot more of them I guess.
