"Our age of remote control may lead to shortened attention span with habituation to fast video-editing styles and instant push-button feedback causing us to miss out on much wonder and beauty in the real world."- Muriel Silberstein-Storfer.
"Practice with art materials sharpens sensory awareness in a manner that simply looking at things cannot. You may have a color in your mind, but it is not until you mix it yourself that you understand its precise properties."- Cognitive scientist Douglas Hofstadter.
