Hello Jainy:
(Pleased to make your acquaintance as well.)
No need to apologize...no offense taken
from your post. I do agree the ideas in
ZMM/Lila give an important door for any
student to step through.
I would love to hear more about your
experience with helping your art students
move from "thinking about" to the higher
value state of "really observing."
Experience is often far more usefull than
words for this type of perception...
thanks--mel
