art of engagement: gathering the tools for one-shot masterpieces
TRANSCRIPT
“I have come to believe that a great teacher is a great artist and that there are as few as there are any other great artists. It might even be the greatest of the arts since the medium is the human mind and spirit.”
-John Steinbeck, “…like captured fireflies” in America and Americans and Selected Nonfiction
