look at the world. Why waste time trying to teach in the old way, before computers? We may have to find new ways to teach everything from Shakespeare's plays to paintings of the old masters. I have had the wonderful experience of introducing my "computer guy" to the painter Matisse; the artist's use of strong color fascinated the guy (the painting was "Madame Matisse in a hat) and if you google it you can instantly see why! That experience taught me that younger folks can, indeed, "see" art and see it perhaps in ways we didn't expect from them.
