"Man is the measure of all things."

Protagoras

490-420 BC

Doodling is invaluable to the experience we call 'education'; it is, after all, the original 'visual' language. Here is an early example we looked at a few weeks ago-

Paul of Tarsus put it this way- "There are, perhaps, a great many kinds of languages in the world, and no kind is without meaning" (excerpt from a 1st Century letter to a group in Corinth).
