The University of Art

I have three art degrees but am fully aware that no degree can teach you how to make it or what it is.  All my degrees were spent learning manual and mental skills by which to craft objects but to make art no one dared even speak and to what constituted art was so enigmatic that no one even bothered to consider it.  Since that time I have learned that a simple walk in nature is the best University of Art to learn both what it is and how one might make it.  In fact nature’s University of Art is so prestigious that ones own back yard will suffice.  There you will find beauty that not only is present but also seeks to live in vital relationship with the viewer, spiritually, mentally, emotionally and physically.  However like all great education, it is only to be had by the most committed student. 


The great question for the artist is Who is the Founder of The University of Art.
