"It is better to have no art teacher than the wrong art teacher! For the wrong art teacher can destroy the potential giftedness of any person and the right teacher can help make a genius of a 'nobody'. But more important that artistic 'outcomes' is the importance of how the soul feels when doing art, only a good teacher can make the soul sing for joy as learner does art. Let us not forget too that practice and experiments are art 'teachers' too"
