Beauty is a common state in nature. Human creations, often labeled as beauty, are
better labeled as well crafted. A difficult
issue in art instruction is to insure the student understands the importance of
craftsmanship without coming to believe that it is, by itself, beauty. Craftsmanship is content for the beginning
art student but can never carry the burden of beauty. An artist knows this difficult fact because
artists are lifelong pupils of nature.
In nature the artist finds beauty so profound that its underlying
exquisite craftsmanship is only discovered after years of meaningful and purposeful
observation.
