Kelly, thanks for sharing your story on learning to throw. It is very =3D
insightful as to how=3D20
students learn and struggle with skills. Once again, it demonstrates how =
=3D
mel sees the essence
of that struggle and with a zen koan simply observes, "you're throwing =3D
with the wrong hand".=3D20
He is a great teacher and started hundreds, probably thousands, on the =3D
path of art in one way or another.
As for the girl with only a forefinger and an index finger (aren't they =
=3D
the same?) left from letting plaster set on her hand
I am skeptical. It has to be an urban legend as I can't imagine not =3D
reacting in time to the setting up
of the plaster, and pulling out. Makes a good story, but..
