Marvin! This is an image of a crazed man hurtling through space at horrific speed to his certain, gruesome death! We must find some other analogy for your students to anticipate.

Believe me, Marvin has the image and the feeling right! Slim Pickins character excepted the facts, rode it out with enthusiasm, and went out in glory : That is an acceptable analogy. When you come out of one of Marvin's workshops it feels a lot like that! You wonder to yourself, "What was all that other stuff I learned"? And "What on earth made me think I was painting in the past"? The site of a blank white canvas used to taunt me and intimidate me, now I can't wait to tone them. Painting has definitely become less of a struggle with Marvin's method!
