Why Practice

"My view, in contrast, is that the arts are essential for training specific visual, percptual ways of thinking... I believe that boths modes - one to comprehend the details and the other to see the whole picture are vital for critical thinking skills, extrapolation of meaning and problem solving."

- Betty Edwards, 2008. The new drawing on the right side of the brain.

Philosophy

"Poets and artists 'let things be' but they also 'let things come out' and show themselves. They help ease things into unconcealment".

-Sarah Blakewell, 2016. At the Existentialist Cafe: Freedom, Being and Apricot Cocktails.
