<p>If someone were to write about a work of art that inspired him, would it be a good or bad idea to attach a picture of the work of art with the essay?</p>
<p>There’s no need. It can slow our system down (the file must become a bit bigger, I guess). We aren’t going to copmare the essay and painting to verify the statements made. After all, we’re interested in the student’s reaction to an art, not a report on it.</p>
<p>I was a little surprised that one of the hundreds that wrote about Guernica thought I needed to see a picture of it when it’s one of the most famous paintings in the world. :)</p>
<p>Thank you, Dean J!</p>
