He elucidated upon the process of communication as a viewer, listener, reader and how one should develop over time as a creator of art. Following this he answered questions like What is Art? Can anything be called Art? Can anyone create it? Who decides if the Art is good or not? Can nature create Art? He elaborated the importance of the terms like repetition, rhythm, harmony, unity, variety and balance. He presented art works of a few artists which he had researched and concluded on having a 'VISION OF LIFE'.
