Those of us who have been watching "Art in the 21st
Century" must wonder:

1. How does one teach artworks after Picasso?

2. Are balances of color, volume - shapes, in general -
important to observe in estimating the point and value of a
modern abstract painting, sculpture, etc.?

3. I mounted/stretched a well-used paint rag - frankly, I
cannot tell the difference between that and some of the
works shown on "Art in the 21st Century." Please comment.

4. How would one tell the difference between a Pollock and
a work that I create by using the same "method"?

5. Is craft a necessary element in art?

6. I am looking down at papers I have dropped on the floor.
If I secure them where they are and cut that portion of the
floor that contains them, have I a legitimate work of
modern art?

7. I am given the impression that doodles by monkeys might
well become modern art "sensations" - if only they were
given the publicity rendered by a wealthy patron. Please
comment.

8. How do YOU teach the art of Pollock, Rothko, and of the
artists shown in "Art in the 21st Century"?

Looking forward to your comments.
