Quote by Eugen Herrigel

Far from wishing to awaken the artist in the pupil prematurely, the teacher considers it his first task to make him a skilled artisan with sovereign control of his craft.

Far from wishing to awaken the artist in the pupil premature

Summary

This quote emphasizes the importance of honing practical skills and technique before diving into artistic expression.

By focusing on building a strong skill set, the teacher believes the student will eventually be able to unleash their creativity in a more controlled and effective manner.
