I would raise the New Men and female engineers of the future.Ten years ago, as I gazed at my first-born in his cradle, I imagined the gentle soul he would be no guns or nasty aggression. The imagination sustained me until he was about two, when he proudly presented me with
21、 his first model a rifle. Later on, in the garden he and his brother began doing such heart-stopping things with sticks that in the end I bought them a couple of plastic swords.We went downhill fast.

But, in Ruskins eyes, theres just one thing we should do attempting to draw the interesting things we see, regardless of whether we happen to have any talent for doing so.Ruskin said, “Drawing can teach us to see, to notice properly rather than gaze absent-mindedly. I
