It’s funny to look at the paintings of expressionistic artists from the 20. Century, because even though I know they have an agenda it feels like you’re witnessing them going gradually insane.

Like look at these by Wassily Kandinsky:

[Murnau, A Village Street from 1908] This painting I can totally get behind, it’s nice, aesthetically pleasing, you immediately get what’s depicted. Nice and neat, nothing shocking for this era.

[Improvisation 26 (Rowing) from 1912] Then there’s this. Maybe you’re wondering what’s going on there, maybe you’re trying to guess some objects. Whatever you guessed, you’re wrong. Look at the title again. Yeah. I guess you kinda see it now. Rowing.

[Continuous Line from 1923]

[Yellow-Red-Blue from 1925] But what are these? What happened? Where did those nice little landscapes go? How come you have lost all sense of objects and reality? Please don’t take this too seriously, I’m not trying to make fun of any artists and I get that they had reasons for what they did and created a path for future artists, even though I’m rather a fan of more traditional movements. I do enjoy learning about them and just wanted to share this amusing thought.

Yk how kids learn through play? I don't think it's a kid thing really. Imo everyone learns through play and having fun. If a school lesson or training thing or whatever is *fun* people engage with it and retain information way better from my experience. Have y'all seen any research on this or anything?

Fun Grammar Lesson:  Nonetheless vs Nevertheless

Ever wonder the difference between Nonetheless vs Nevertheless, if you’d like to read more I’ve linked below where i got this direct quote but i think the simple and fun, modern lesson below it will help you be able to easily apply it to real world, nevertheless you may not forget it now. <3

- Nevertheless: means in spite of that. - Nonetheless: means in contrast to. - Nonetheless is used to indicate something that can be measurably quantified, while nevertheless is used in reference to a situation that either has, is or might occur - https://askanydifference.com/difference-between-nonetheless-and-nevertheless/  - https://grammarist.com/compound-words/nevertheless-vs-nonetheless/

Ex: Nonetheless 

Namjoon said to Jimin, “Ya got no jams.” Then Jimin replied,” Nonetheless, Army thinks I have jams.”

(Here the jams are used as the

‘something that can be measurably quantified’

that we are saying and amount in contrast to. We can understand it better by breaking it off at just none or never to check. Seeing as

“Jimin has none”

sounds correct, whereas

 “you have never”

would be incorrect and sounds it. None means not one, that's another great way to remember and try in place of the word to indicate if it sounds right. Carrying this through the example to show this, it sounds fine to say

“Jimin, you have not one (or a single) jam.”

How Jimin contrasts this is by confirming that, while the facts are that Namjoon says he has none, with the word

 ‘nonetheless’,

in the same breath (word) Jimin is saying Namjoon is indicating that Namjoons’ measurement/amount/number of jams that he says he has is none. But, contrasts this fact by saying,

in spite

of Namjoon feeling that true, Army thinks the opposite, indicating he has some (at least in others opinion-based measurements.))

Ex: Nevertheless

Henry said he’d take us on a nice, scenic walk. Nevertheless, he failed to mention it’d end with murdering his longtime friend.

(A good rule for this word is to replace it with ‘however’ to see if it sounds right. So, let's give that a try with the example,

“Henry said he’d take us on a nice, scenic walk. However, he failed to mention it’d end with murdering his longtime friend.”

Yup, sounds right! We’re contrasting the idea of this event occurring as was stated. While the event is did happen it was contrary to what was told to them. Henry said the walk would be a nice, scenic walk, which wasn’t entirely true. We indicate this in the word ‘nonetheless’.)

I hope this helps and was fun for you! <3 Keep staying curious and learning a bit of something new every day! <3
