Fundamental to the approach are observation and thinking-observing physical reality, and thinking about what is observed. The questions, simply and directly stated, engage the rational mind and serve to unlock information that helps students grasp the essential nature of their experience.In the second part of the book, the author presents a series of projects designed to enhance the inventive abilities of students in the fine arts classroom.
