One of the greatest gifts an art teacher can give themselves is to determine if there's anything worthy of making art about? The art student is invariably stuck in the celebration of their skill or their story. These are the two most powerful concepts they have but also the most shallow. The art teacher’s job is to gently open to them the puzzling ecstasy of God, humans and the cosmos, in that order. No concept can better carry that responsibility for the teacher and the beginning art student like the elements and principles of design.
