“In any case, once you're dealing on a nonverbal level, ambiguity is unavoidable. But it's the ambiguity of all art, of a fine piece of music or a painting - you don't need written instructions by the composer or painter accompanying such works to 'explain' them. “Explaining” them contributes nothing but a superficial 'cultural' value which has no value except for critics and teachers who have to earn a living.” NeedsArtValuesLevelsCasesTeacherPiecesWrittenPaintingFineCriticsPainterInstructionComposerSuperficialExplainingAmbiguityNonverbal Author:Stanley Kubrick
“I knew that I wanted to be an illustrator since I was in kindergarten. I can remember the exact day. The art teacher usually came to our classroom once a week, but she was absent that day.

I found that which is public domain and I had a piano teacher to go through it with me.” IfsLittlesCertainFoundFeltBitsRoomsTeacherPiecesLittle BitLongingMessPianoIf I CouldLoadDomainClassical MusicHintsUrgencyLiving RoomPublic DomainPiano Teachers Author:Colin Farrell
