 "ART IS A UNIVERSAL LANGUAGE."

the Art, is in the Process...Art in Education applies to places where people come to learn about their society through the interpretation of images, symbols, and signs. On the other hand, as artists "Il n’y a pas d’ecoles, seulement les peintres." ("There are no schools of art, only artists" - Gustave Courbet) I believe that "you are only a painter when you are painting" and that "an artist works with what he or she has". As a teacher I work to explain and review the most common points of understanding art; I also suggest ways that students can apply technique in their own way to their own personal and professional goals. Graphic Artist par excellence Saul Bass said that "Good Design is Good Thinking" and the tools we use are the Elements and Principles of Art & Design: The Elements of the Visual Arts are always the same: LINE, SHAPE, FORM, VALUE, TEXTURE, and COLOR The Principles of Art and Design are generally more, and can vary in number: BALANCE, EMPHASIS, UNITY, MOVEMENT, RHYTHM, PROPORTION, PATTERN, and SPACE Everyone has a responsibility to gracefully engage, navigate, and communicate through the use and interpretation of images and symbols. In this way, drawing is like writing - and those who say they cannot draw - imagine they cannot read and write. |
