So teach Zobel did. "This is going to be an informal course," Zobel writes in his lecture notes. "Discussion will be encouraged by every means at my command. Do not hesitate to interrupt, ask questions, dispute points, or get involved in arguments. I do not have all the answers; in fact I intend to learn a good deal from this course myself." The Ateneo then was at Padre Faura. Not far from the campus, Manila was still in ruins, the result of carpet bombing during the American liberation a decade before. It was here where Zobel opened students' eyes to art-to objects of art and the art of seeing.
