In Learning to See, you meet professors and students in over 20 different art and design disciplines from painting and sculpture to graphic design and architecture. By reading what they say in their conversations and their classrooms, you learn that becoming an artist or designer is not about learning to draw or sew or weld it is about learning to see.
