From the starting of his career, Glaser has been a member of education communities and he taught at the school of visual art in NY.
For him, drawing is always been the fundamental way of looking thing. Describe drawing like a way of encountering reality.
“First we have to learn to draw accurately, then we can express ourselves” he sad.
The biggest challenge, he sad, is not getting bored or disinterested in what you are doing and maintain your personal vision and sense of appropriateness.
