A few days ago a violin student of mine showed me a gouache painting that she did of Grand Canyon. She has never been to the Canyon. She painted her picture from a photo. To me that is not the purpose of making art. We make art to show our own world, to express our own feelings, and to reflect things that have personal meanings to us. I had the students drawing a corner of the room today. I hope that they will draw their own rooms, like van Gogh, a simple painting of a corner of his room that have touched so many hearts.
