It would appear that intention separates adaptation from mimicry. I appreciate your support of full disclosure with students when it comes to technique and conceptual challenges, helping them to know the full spectrum of possibilities available for their considered use. I strongly support such openness in the class and studio, having personally benefited from the generous guidance of artists further along than myself. Thank you, Ben, for your discrimination and generosity in this post, and for bringing up the Man in Black!Evahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00278282506969671589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6984289093844316043.post-7446401347514909032011-04-30T03:37:38.639-07:002011-04-30T03:37:38.639-07:00I agree with you, that we have a responsibility as...I agree with you, that we have a responsibility as teachers to give our students the benefit of ALL the knowledge we can, so they can forge on from there and reach greater heights! How can it be stealing an idea if you put your own heart and soul into it to make it a part of you? I tell my students to look for design ideas in my bookshelf, and then change that design idea and make it personal to them. I get some great designs that way!Mr. Younghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00696214535601007261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6984289093844316043.post-7437454130358044372011-04-29T07:32:59.452-07:002011-04-29T07:32:59.452-07:00Ben this is an awesome post!

I worry that too often we potters are misled by our collective mythologies and personal hang-ups. Getting some of these issues out in the open is the only way we have of exposing some real nonsense and backwards thinking that has ruled our attitudes and approaches for a while. I'm so glad you are a part of this discussion. Keep up the great work!carter gillieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12744265678233135968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6984289093844316043.post-78016201196159881652011-04-29T07:09:53.587-07:002011-04-29T07:09:53.587-07:00Thanks Scott.

I like to see the changes in your forms over the years. Starting all your blog posts with a music lyric is a great idea. I look forward to reading more in the future.Ben Carterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13359013637665336903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6984289093844316043.post-50116495272568079912011-04-29T04:30:00.059-07:002011-04-29T04:30:00.059-07:00Good post!
