Sir Joshua Reynolds's "Invention": Intellectual Activity as a Foundation of Art.
Martin, Floyd W.
Art Education, v40 n6 p6-15 Nov 1987
Notes that educators often view art as an intellectually shallow, mechanical process. Describes Sir Joshua Reynolds's concept of invention as the intellectual combination of placing the painter's mental picture of actions, expressions, and characters on canvas. Calls for educators to stress intellectual qualities of art in order to develop well-rounded artistic foundations in students. (BSR)
