Renaissance person: Arts!
Look at the bottom of this page for a PPT about art history, and a really, really basic introduction to Chinese, British and American literature.
Note: So far I only have a Western Art History PPT, and have started a Chinese Art history PPT too, but it's so undeveloped I'm not ready to share it yet. Stay tuned, there is more to come.
See below the slideshow to download the Western Art PPT!

The file below is for low level (Chinese) students as a very, very basic introduction to a few classic novels from China, England and the U.S. It's definately not comprehensive. Hopefully it will serve the purpose of introducing the word: "Literature" and suggest a few good books.

What is an artist?
“What do you think an artist is?
An imbecile who has only his eyes if he is a
painter,or his ears if he is a musician, or a lyre at
every level of his heart if he is a poet, or, if he is
merely a boxer, only his muscle?
On the contrary, he is at the same time a political
being, constantly alert to the heartrending,
burning, or happy events in the world,
molding himself in their likeness.”
Quote by Pablo Picasso
