Kids are naturally gifted at art from a very young age. The problem is when they get older and become self-conscious. The process should always be fun, though.

Youth is the gift of nature, but age is a work of art.

Children also have artistic ability, and there is wisdom in there having it! The more helpless they are, the more instructive are the examples they furnish us; and they must be preserved free of corruption from an early age.

Everyone in those days expected that art students were wild, licentious characters. We didn't know how to be, but we sure were anxious to learn.

I have always said to young artists that scholastic training and the studying of art history are crucial to fully developing as an artist.

Youth must go ahead and prosper. These young painters are all very talented people, but they all paint frescoes.

The early expression of my youth was filled with all the aspects of art.

The most irresistible charm of youth is its bubbling enthusiasm. Youth sees no darkness ahead - no defile that has no outlet - it forgets that there is such a thing as failure in the world and believes that mankind has been waiting all these centuries for him to come and be the liberator of truth and energy and beauty.

The oldest of the arts and the youngest of the professions.

The unassuming youth seeking instruction with humility gains good fortune.
