This blog is dedicated to sharing the concept that our hands are essential to learning- that we engage the world and its wonders, sensing and creating primarily through the agency of our hands. We abandon our children to education in boredom and intellectual escapism by failing to engage their hands in learning and making.

In last week's poll, 69 percent associated craftsmanship and truth. 30 percent associated art with deception. So this week we look at art to gain a clearer view of its meaning. You will find the poll at right and can choose all the terms that apply.
Ah, but art *can* be any of those things. A good artist can sort of grab us by the consciousness and force us to see things differently.
