Blog Assignment #12: 11/29-12/3

Please read the story below and answer the following questions:
1. What is Picasso saying?
2. How does our society value art?
3. Give a parallel example to Picasso's story (ex: if someone asked a doctor to quickly give them stitches at a picnic and is surprised that the doctor's bill is $300.)

The Picasso Principle

The famous Pablo Picasso was at a party. A woman recognized him and approached the Master. She asked, “Will you create a sketch for me?”

Picasso agreed, and, as he pulled out his sketchpad, asked her for a subject.

“A bird in a tree will do,” she responded.

So Picasso spent about a five minutes doing what Picasso does on the sketchpad. Finished, he ripped the sketch off the pad, handed it to the woman and said, “That will be $10,000.”

The woman was floored. “Ten thousand dollars! Why, it only took you five minutes to draw that sketch!”

To which, Picasso replied, “No, madam. That sketch took me thirty years.”
