I just took a two-week art intensive. My instructor, paper engineer Matt Shlian, told us that he always ends with a question. It became obvious quickly that he meant in his art and in his teaching. He was a master of engaging in our questions, but always leaving a door or window open at the end of the conversation so that we would continue to pursue that which interested us, perplexed us, energized us. Ending with questions is one act of a master teacher.
