The one thing I know about adult learners is that they get what they need out of the learning experience. While that may not match my ideal of what they should/could get, it is what they perceive they need. The most important thing I can do is create the environment for learning to take place. From there, it is up to the individual. I wish I could join you at Road to California but the timing was wrong for my schedule.Jan's Art and Musingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16944210655467222522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9291442.post-1168300236486836112007-01-08T18:50:00.000-05:002007-01-08T18:50:00.000-05:00Great thoughts Melody, Teri, and Helen.

I always go into my studio to PLAY.<BR/><BR/>And I am drooling all over my keyboard in anticipation of using some of those wonderful fabrics at QSDS in Columbus in June. We are going to have sooooooooooo much fun! I can't wait. Five days with Melody!?!?!? Eeeeek!

The minute you think you are, you think of something else (hopefully). If you are sure you are "there" the trip is over and so is growth....you have shown that change and growth and self-exploration, while not painless, are necessary and the results are SO worth it!!<BR/><BR/>Thanks for being such a wonderful teacher of art and life....<BR/><BR/>teriAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9291442.post-1168292514883265172007-01-08T16:41:00.000-05:002007-01-08T16:41:00.000-05:00Ooh la la, what luscious fabric!

It's not compulsory but it helps! We all struggle with self-doubt when we feel the muse is deserting us. Getting through it does happen as you will already know. Fun and chuckles helps get us there quicker I think.<BR/><BR/>Can you come tell my maths students at high school that it is all about the work? They think it's about anything but!Helenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16071169702272418462noreply@blogger.com
