My Daughter is an Esoteric Artist. I am an Exoteric Artist and an Esoteric Master of Teaching, Logic, and Communications.
Ashavana Students. Watch how I use the Esoteric Skills to Transfer the Unknown Esoteric Knowledge into the Exoteric for easier Learning of Artists.

Art Style vs. Art Skeleton
Apprentice and Exoteric Artists — Who are not Artists at all — Confuse “Style” with “The Common Denominators of Learning.” I received a LOT of Teenage Angst about this topic.
Many Vaunters taught “How to draw like me!” and not “How to draw.”
“They wasted my time!” she said. They wasted so much of my time! 3 Years!” She said.
A 3 Year DELAY because Bad Teachers misdirected her.
When she realized “they are not legit” she changed these three things :
I personally witnessed her MASSIVE ACCELERATION IN LEARNING
- She Stopped listening to Vaunters (Bad Teachers)
- Left School (Her Mental Health Improved and her ADHD was “cured”)
- And she got this Book : “Drawing Animals” by Gary Geraths ISBN : 9-781548-914233
- She Applied “The Mathematics and Logic of Reverse Engineering”
It was around this time that she began to Reverse Engineer Art. A Logic and Math skill that she learned from listening to me record Classes all day long on “The Mathematics and Logic of Reverse Engineering.”
What Is Art Style?
As an Author and a Musician, I am going to answer this question.
The Discipline is the Tools and Techniques that make up The Learning Skeleton. It is the Control Group. For an Artist, it is “The Still Life.”
The Style is when you Consciously Evolve away from The Skeleton with Logic after Mastered Discipline.
If you are not a Master, then you have no business “Finding your Style.”
Nor should you “Copy the Masters.”
YOUR JOB IS TO MASTER THE BASICS.
Not The Master
And this lesson applies to ALL Art, you should not be studying “Style of Art/Music/Writing/Dance” until you can efficiently name the Basics of Art/Music/Writing/Dance.
I remember how CONFUSING this was when I was an Apprentice. The first task of a Student is to Separate Style from The Basics.
That is like “A Beat” or “The Pulse” of a Song, vs. Rap or Hiphop.
TASK #1 OF THE SERIOUS STUDENT : Separate Style from Basics.
Masters do not Paint The Basics. They are Celebrating their Style. BOB ROSS IS THE BASICS. His Paintings were AN ART CLASS. Bob Ross was a Master Teacher of Art… for Landscapes.
“Technically,” my Daughter says, “You have the Skeletal Frame down, Mum… When you draw a stick figure.”
“That’s what I’m doing!?” I say.
When I apply myself… I draw a MEAN stick figure.
The Logical Layers of Art
Drawing is Geometry.
Painting is Physics.
Sculpting is Engineering.

The Logical Hierarchy
The Order in which we Learn Art (See The Skeleton Logic of Art Below)
The Tools and Techniques
Search The 7 Elements of Art
(How you use these BEYOND the Basics IS your Style)
- Line
- Shape
- Space
- Value
- Form
- Texture
- Color
The Ashavana Mathematician steps in… and says, “My dear Artists. The “7 Elements of Art” should be called “The 7 Mathematical Laws of Art.” “Element” is Chemistry Talk we use in Atoms and Molecules.
This is what happens when Art People don’t study Math and Chemistry… or Language. Or Logic.
The “7 Elements of Art” are really The Mathematical Common Denominators of ALL Skeletal Disciplines.
Search The Principles of Art
(How you use these BEYOND the Basics IS your Style)
- Balance
- Contrast
- Emphasis
- Movement
- Pattern
- Rhythm
- Unity : Variety (Dichotomy)
Search The Color Wheel (Color is Mother Nature’s Melody)
The Colors you get are the Mathematical Formula that result in the Side Effects (Symptoms) of Color Chemistry. What color you get is a Ratio of Primary Colors to Shading (Black or White) to Secondary Colors. It’s the Math Formula of Color.
Color Chemistry.
Primary Colors
- Blue
- Red
- Yellow
Secondary Colors (Equal Ratios of Primary Colors)
- Green
- Purple
- Orange
Tertiary Colors (In-equal Ratios of Primary Colors)
- Red-Orange
- Red-Violet
- Yellow-Orange
- Yellow-Green
- Blue-Violet
- Blue-Green
Did you know that your drawing changes depending on where and how you hold your pencil? Do you know the Color Wheel? Color Theory? The Three Primary Colors in Physics and in The Meta World (The Integrated World you see). Do you know what a Rubber or Kneaded Eraser is? Canvas Types, Pencil Weight, and Tortillon Blenders, charcoal, Pastels vs. pastels, Paint Knives, Brushes, ect.
Cross-Hatching, Stippling, Pointilism, Feathering, Collage, Blending,
These are the tools you will need to Master in The Basics.
Value Scale of Color (Spectrum) (This is in Physics and Music)
- Hue : The Name of the Color
- Value : The Light and Darkness of a Color
- Chroma : The Vivid Dullness of a Color (Saturation)
The History and Political Perspective (Era and Evolution)
This focuses on the Evolution and the Logical Progression of Art through The Natural Story (Time). You can witness the Learning Journey of The Discovered Self of All Integrated into Our Story.

The Skeleton Logic of Art
What these are is the “Knowledge Nuggets” of Art. The Knowledge Nuggets are the Common Denominators of The Learning Skeleton.
NOTE! When you study these Point Skeletons, YOU MUST study ALL Animals in each Group. Example : Muscle Groups are to be studied for All Animals at the same time.
Ashavana Students! See “B Point” Below.
Start from Least Logical Diversification (Plato’s Point) to Greatest Logical Diversification.
- Perspective : In Perspective Science
- The 7 layers of Anatomy (Nature’s Harmony) 8 is 1 (Start inside and go out)
- Animal Behavior
- Environment and Animal’s Logic (A)
- Relative Location inside the Body and Environment
- The Order of Logical Hierarchy (From Bones to Skin)
- Muscle Groupings and Skeletal Frame
- Logical Hierarchy
- The Groupings of Common Denominators for Animal Anatomy (The Logic of Taxonomy relative to Environment)
- Biological Evolution Progression (Take Note of Feet)
- Translating Horse to Bird
- Shapes (Geometry) of Body Parts
Example : “A Camel is just a Horse that has evolved for Desert.” – Elizabeth T.
Integrated Points for Advanced Learning :
- Environment and Animal’s Logic +> Biological Evolution Progression
Here is how this works : When you learn anything, you are learning only The Logical Sequence of the Discipline and the Language. You are learning how it all Fits into The Integration.
As an Ashavana, I can see how these “Missing Esoteric Pieces” fit into the Integrated Whole. Information, I could not obtain if I have studied as an Esoteric. This is why I needed to have One subject I did not study.
Ashavana Students! Compare this data to my notes on Geometry. In comparison to all the other Disciplines.
Art and Anatomy are my Exoteric Studies.
Geometry is my Native Home.
Logic is my Passion Study and Home.
Physics is my “Neighbor.”
Ashavana Students! See “B Point” Below.
When you study ANYTHING, you have to Study All Subjects together in the same Grouping.
(This Course is a Work In Progress. As I study and learn more, I update the information here and expand on it).
