Teh question is: does starting people of with paint by numbers lead to the eventual creation of good artists? Or simply lots of people who are expert at painting by numbers? I don't think there is a definitive answer to that. It is a question that has raged in education circles for decades. Whether it was 'The New Math' or 'Phonetic (developmental) Spelling' or a raft of other attempts to simplify the teaching process, they all rely upon the presumption that eventually, the 'proper' knowledge will take hold and supplant the teaching aid in the minds of those so educated. But there is an old adage that it is far harder to unlearn your bad habits that it would have been to learn the right way to start with. And history shows that to be the case. Another old adage is: those whom ignore history, are destined to repeat it.
