“Calm Down
what happens
happens mostly
without you.”
Josef Albers, Poems and Drawings

“To design is to plan and to organize, to order, to relate and to control. In short it embraces all means of opposing disorder and accident. Therefore it signifies a human need and qualifies man’s thinking and doing.”
Josef Albers

“...Good teaching is more a giving of right questions than a giving of right answers.”
Josef Albers, Interaction of Color
