Remarks from a teacher who tested the lessons in Dreams And Explorations:

"As an instructor I found the drawing in the lesson How Do Shadows Move in Space a challenge for my students. I was unsure of what the final outcome would look like. The abstraction really pushed the students into a new direction, experimenting with shapes and shadows. The venture into creating an abstract work of art is a journey toward an 'unknown' outcome... that is similar to our venture in space.""-Bobbi Yancey, College Oaks Elementary School, Lake Charles, Louisiana
