Working With Students
​
​
Ms Massey approaches teaching through active questioning rather than static answers, or rote.
​
Theories are not the same as principles in art. For example, the color wheel is a theory and merely points a painter in a direction for futher discovery. A principle can be applied to the painting process as a real beginning point. A painter must begin again each time they pick up a brush.
​
Painting is a nonverbal discipline. The dabs of paint--the brushwork is the language the painter uses to say what it is the viewer must hear. Every painter must develop their own language. Over time, this is what makes a painter Original.
