• 2. What is the difference between fine art and craft? 
• 3. How do we communicate thoughts and feelings in the creation of both sculptural and functional forms?

The title is a short-expressional phrase that relates to motive.

The big idea is to further explain the title with personal internalized insights and stories to convey an educational, positive, and moral message to the community.
