And since geometry is the right foundation of all painting, I have decided to teach its rudiments and principles to all youngsters eager for art.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I've been taking art lessons since I was little, and I've always drawn. I think in pictures.
Drawing teaches you to look at things properly and to understand form and structure.
I've always loved painting and drawing. I wish I'd developed it more and exhibited.
Our task is to find teaching methods that continually engage the whole human being. We would not succeed in this endeavor if we failed to concentrate on developing the human sense of art.
When children draw or do rudimentary painting, the whole human being develops an interest in what is being done. This is why we should allow writing to develop from drawing.
If it's taught well, art really is important to kids early on. It helps children develop language and allows them to see themselves in a way that isn't right or wrong, because if they draw an animal with five legs instead of four, nobody's criticizing them for it.
I always think that art is one of the most wonderful exciting curious ways to learn. I have no worries or apologies about art being used as a teaching medium.
Painting is something that requires a lot of time - it's not just one good idea out of art school.
Geometry is moribund. I want a lilt and joy to art.
Instead of art I have taught philosophy. Though technique for me is a big word, I never have taught how to paint. All my doing was to make people to see.
