Abstract

The Most simple and direct answer to this question is somewhat perplexing: the good studio teacher is a fellow-artist; he is also a student; he has conviction. This evades, perhaps, the more general problems of (a) the technical and the conceptual, (b) freedom vs. discipline, and (c) criticism and communication, the verbal vs. the visual. Actually, in the mind of the gifted studio teacher, these terms—whether antithetical, parallel or complimentary—do not exist anywhere except here as you read them. The gifted teacher is concerned primarily with the Student (capitalized, important and singled out), where he is, where he might possibly be going, and where he might need and be able to find help in getting there. The means of giving this help we call method, and it is method which involves these three major problems. A discussion of them may enlighten the presumptuous simplicity of the above answer.
