@MidwestCoastBias: I think a lot of people forget just how calculating and image-aware many of the artists we consider 'greats' were in their times. Look at a band like the Ramones, for example. Their look, sound, interviews, etc. were all calculated to a tee. Bob Dylan was even worse.

@Platypus Man: It works great when you are multiplying double digit numbers, but it can get tedious for something as simple as 7x8, which would require you drawing 15 lines then counting 56 dots. Much easier just to memorize a times table in that case.

I wish I would have known about this back in elementary school. I always did horrible in math and just assumed I just wasn't good at it. Then I took a math class at an art school, of all places, and realized I was capable of understanding a lot more than I thought I did. It wasn't until it was taught to me in a more…
