Inge Durkey Summary

   Inge Durkey describes the importance of training the eyes to see. Durkey teached students how to visually see textures, shapes and form within an image. The first assignment she introduced to her students was a nine square art board. Each art board had to be a different composition of shapes, color and objects. Durkey pushed her students to see images more in depth and through simplicity. Turkey also encouraged her students to imitate different textures from old labels so they can understand the process of producing each texture.
