Well, I remember I borrowed EVERY book on the topics of Crafts and Fine Arts in two different libraries when I was a teenager in college. I was fascinated by the books, especially the pictures. I read the tezxts to, most of it anyways, but (and there's the problem) I did not do the exercices nor the activities. Not trained in their specific vague language, static images were not showing me some essential steps I knew I must be missing from somewhere. I felt like I was dumb or something, because why would they publish an instructional book with unlear info! Most people must be able too understand them i thought! Took me years to realise a lot of books aren't adequate teaching tools, and even with those that are, some people learn isntantly through moving examples, seeing and hearing someone do it in front of them. I since then learned to understand techniques, they cross-reference in my mind, and they interact. Hence my suddenly becoming a good cook, one day. The art medium properties were transferable to food stuff! I now learn quite easily with books, but it only became possible once I had acquired a sufficient knowledge base to deduct what was often missing from some of the steps. I still prefer live workshops or Video lessons if the former is not available, the learning is immediate! ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mary Horsley" <mphorsley-AT-earthlink.net> To: <puptcrit-AT-puptcrit.org> Sent: Monday, March 24, 2008 9:55 AM Subject: Re: [Puptcrit] Inspiring Portrait Sculptor Mathieu, I watched Paul on the Expert Video....wish it didn't have so many commercials.
