Does the Influential Person Essay have to be about someone you've actauly met?

<p>I guess the thread title is pretty self-explanatory. Is it alright to write an essay about like a figure in one of your favorite paintings or something??:)</p>

<p>Anyone...so long as they've influenced you.</p>

<p>Awesome Jon!!</p>

<p>just curious, which painting. and i'd definetly write it; it sounds so unique!</p>

<p>My essay focuses on a woman that I can identify with it in an independent painting at a local art gallery. It's not really one of those famous ones...</p>

<p>Are you going to submit a picture of it too?</p>

<p>No, but I spend the whole first paragraph describing the picture.;)</p>
