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.
