were working towards the democratized institutionof arts and drafting education across both liberal and technical education. Mechanical andanatomical drawing were seen as processes that could be easily mastered: given enough trainingand repetition, anyone, even a machine, could learn to reproduce on paper the dimensions of anobject or person. Artistic education, then, aimed to give students the skills to draw and draft, butthese skills were also understood to be insufficient to create great art. The mastery of drawingwas necessary only insofar as it allowed artists to deploy that mastery as a vehicle for their owncreative expression. The mastery of artisanal skill combined with the génie of the artist createdthe potential for great art.Given

Simulation masters track thedecisions that students make and the resulting consequences in a simulation matrix. After thesimulation is finished, they share aggregated results with the participants. Those results, as wellas the facilitators’ observations, are used to facilitate a reflective discussion
