Thank you so much for your lovely com...Hullo Jenny<br /><br />Thank you so much for your lovely comment, and I'm so pleased you enjoyed the article. Yes, there's so much to be learnt from other people, and children have the benefit of an uncluttered, fresh approach.<br /><br />As Picasso said, “It took me four years to paint like Raphael, but a lifetime to paint like a child.” <br /><br />(Quite frankly, I doubt he ever painted like Raphael, never mind only taking four years to achieve it - after all, it took Raphael a lot longer than four years to paint like Raphael - but hey, that's the Picasso self-publicity machine at work.)<br /><br />He also said, “Every child is an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up.” Which is true, because he's talking about a lack of inhibition and a freedom to express yourself. Unfortunately, in Pablo's mind that apparently only applies to male children though! But that's an axe to grind on another day...<br /><br />Anyway, yes, you're quite right, whenever you are in a teaching/learning situation, there equally as much to be learnt from your students or fellow pupils as from your teacher. Information and ideas flow in all directions!<br /><br />Judithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01699059997487134415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-219363636849408472.post-70305208471334706552014-12-24T05:19:50.029-08:002014-12-24T05:19:50.029-08:00I enjoyed seeing this post immensely!

A school in London found one of my paintings on the internet and I came in to give them a talk about some of my painting techniques and process...It's a wonderfully rewarding activity for any artist to do, and they come up with amazing work...Keeps us in awe of what can be done with a few adventurous steps! Thanks so much for this! Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14121050833735487167noreply@blogger.com
