really interesting, everyone-- thanks! Bob's list does seem to get at the core of our discipline-- especialy at it relates to recent research in cognition: how we learn to access the "hidden brain" through drawing --> trusting the process, beginners mind, fearlessness in the face of the ineffable, resisting the impulse to get prematurely fixated on outcomes, trusting the process....
How many of you out there would agree that these principles are essential to the practice and teaching of drawing?
