Kevin Crumley works on his watercolor for Dr. John Keller's class. Nature was one ofmany sources ofinspiration for artists of all kinds. For some, inspiration was emotional. Contentment inspired peaceful paintings, poems or songs, while anger or depression provoked more troubled masterpieces. Others were inspired by the works of great artists before them. Watching a ballet or listening to a famous symphonygave them ideas for how to begin and encouragement to aspire. Religious issues gave yet another reason to create. Many works ofart, especially in literature and theater, owed their birth to a theological debate or the trials of persecution. Inspiration did not always come from important events, however. At times, daily life was sufficient inspiration. Art major Todd Mullins said he was inspired to create "by things around me, by taking a simple object that we take for granted and turning it into something that makes you say 'Wow!"'
