11 weeks...

That's right. 11 weeks until graduation. Can you please jump and click your heels with me?! So since an art history degree is in order, I figured I'd share with you one favorite artwork every week leading up to the big day!

Venus of Willendorf
circa 30,000-25,000 BCE

I know...it's a little different. But the interesting thing is this artwork was made thousands and thousands of years ago & and the figure's purpose continues to be a mystery! The simplicity of the carving and the detail of the woman is what makes this one of my favorite paleolithic artworks.
