It was asked of me to share 150 to 200 words about my experiences, my thoughts, my...related to foundation art, and please don’t be...And so... I see teaching as a tremen- dous opportunity to make a difference in people’s lives. My intention is to create a ‘space’ in which the student’s ground-of- being confronts what’s true in the universe. To do that I have to willingly recreate all situations as a ‘pic- ture’ of my Self, that is, to take the responsibility for and ‘own’ my 50% of reality. When I do that the student can then see himself in the “mirror” and our selves touch. I can’t make anyone do any- thing. I can’t make students draw well. All that is really possible, that has value, is to operate as the catalyst to inspira- tion. Inspiration comes from and exists inside of us. It can’t be given to another. My inspiration can create the ambience, that allows, that empowers the stu- dent to drop his mind, to see through the considerations, to grow and often make a quantum leap forward. And I know that it’s always the student's willing- ness to accept “what's so” that Wow wo asa allows him her to teach him- self herself. The goodies for me, the pay off always comes when the magic works. When the student takes the responsibility and becomes cause in the matter and is no longer at effect. I love those words “I learned alot!” Thank you! WW a ae Ses ak Matthew Stern
