title: Perhaps you are familiar with

Perhaps you are familiar with Sister Wendy and her [Sister Wendy's Story of Painting](http://www.tpt.org/BTW_folder/Sept/wendy.html). She's the British nun who has her own TV show where she raoms the halls of art museums, giving us a detailed survey of the history of western art. Even if you're not, you may still appreciate BBC America's irreverent answer, [Sister Randy](http://www.bbcamerica.com/amusements/sister_randy.html), the chain smoking, shave needing, art critic nun. (Requires a plugin, but the automatic download is painless.) For example, here's what she has to say about modern art:
<A piece of modern ar hangs on the wall. It looks like colored blurs. Sister Randy walks on, sporting her usual "Flying Nun" attire.> "_Art of the twentieth century raised many bold and daring questions._ " <She gestures at the painting.> "_Is this painting upside down, sideways, or right side up? Was this painting done by a monkey? Exactly what the hell is this painting? Was this painting done by a colorblind monkey, or is this painting done?"_ <She gets more and more frantic.> "_Is it done? What the hell is it? Good lord in heaven, is it done? Is it too late to kill this colorblind schizophrenic monkey before he paints again?"_ <She's on her knees now.> "_Oh God and Jesus in heaven, please don't let this monkey paint again!_ " <She takes a long, slow drag on her cigarette, and then walks off.>
If you are offended by potty humor, you really don't want to see her lecture on impressionism.
