"Simply by trying things out you will become involved in an absorbing game (the ancient Japanese word for art was asobi, which also means game). You will find that this game gives the chance of self expression, that certain colours and forms which come into being by chance provoke certain sensations, and that certain strange colours remind you of something. You will find out that these images evoke feelings and memories from the distant past..." ~Bruno Munari fr. Design as Art pg 184
