I have actually tried to teach the method a couple of times. It's rare to find anyone with a real interest these days. I'll write to you. Georgianna Hi David,
Yes, I do have those notes! I have actually tried to teach the method a couple of times. It’s rare to find anyone with a real interest these days.

I had classes with Walter '76 and '77 at PCA. I don't know where I've stored my notebooks but hope to find someone with the measurements/proportions of the clay blocks he taught us to use for starting a figurative piece. Can you help? Thanks, David Huddleston Thank you for sharing those thoughts.

Hair has so many implications. It tells it's own story about the figure in terms of social and cultural identity as well as the time in which it was rendered. I once had a student who sculpted all his female figures bald. When I asked him why, his answer was that he could not sculpt hair. I think it could be an interesting exploration of the feminine mystique around hair though. That is a beautiful poem.

There's a very short poem by Samuel Menash that goes: "I used to think the beauty of the tree was in its leaves. And then I saw the bare tree."

I want to read more entries on this! You've got me intrigued--the difference between art and craft, art and design, and art and decoration. I would love to read a discussion of each of these as well. I've thought about this topic (what makes something apiece of art?) a lot, but have never clarified my thoughts by putting them to paper. So often, when I'm pondering that question it's because I'm looking at an object in a museum that is (because of it's inclusion in the museum) defined as art, and I do not like it. So then I start questioning my own dislike, and I never get back to my original question. I admire the clarity in your writing and thought and your courage in tackling so unwieldy a topic.
