In the beginning of this essay by Paul Rand, he talks about the difficulties in teaching and how a students success is going to rely on their natural talent. In schools there is barely any attempt of progression from basic design to applied design. One of the biggest design problems is teaching the possibility of relationships. Teaching should have a split of learning theoretical problems and practical problems. As Rand goes on he gives different problem possibilities by showing and explaining a few games like crossword puzzles and Tangrams. I really enjoyed when he talked about creating work with simple means but being very satisfied with it. For example when he was describing the Cubist collage he says ” The playfulness and humor in the production of some of these compositions in no way detracts from the end result- a serious work of art” (Rand 169). That statement struck out at me the most while reading this and it connects back to the title of the entire essay.
