1. A computerized coaching method for teaching a student to acquire and develop an artistic skill by using a computer, said teaching method comprising the steps of:
- generating a set of random numbers defining the attributes of an ideal figure and storing the random numbers;
communicating the attributes of the ideal figure to a student;
inviting the student to draw a trial figure conforming to the communicated attributes in quest of the ideal figure;
generating the attributes of the trial figure based on the response of the student;
making a comparison of the attributes of the ideal figure with the attributes of the trial figure; and
verbally and numerically communicating instructions to the student for correcting the trial figure so that it conforms to the ideal figure.

Abstract
A computerized method is provided for helping students in acquiring and developing the ability to perform an art or skill. This is done in an interactive sequence wherein responses made by a student to inquiries and directives are digitized and compared with hidden idealized parameters and with previous responses, and an evaluation is communicated to the student with encouragements.

12. A computerized coaching method for teaching a student to acquire and develop an artistic skill by using a computer, said method of teaching a student comprising the steps of:
-
generating a predetermined center location, a predetermined length and a predetermined orientation, as three attributes of an ideal line that is hidden from the student, wherein the step of generating the three attributes of the ideal line comprises the steps of inviting an instructor to draw the ideal line and determining the center location, length and orientation of the ideal line drawn by the instructor; communicating said three attributes to the student in verbal and numerical terms; inviting the student to attempt to draw a trial line that has said three attributes; determining the center location, length and orientation of the trial line drawn by the student; comparing the center location of the trial line with the center location of the ideal line; comparing the length of the trial line with the length of the ideal line; comparing the orientation of the trial line with the orientation of the ideal line; and instructing the student in verbal and numerical terms to relocate the center of a succeeding trial line to make its location correct, to draw the succeeding trial line to make its length correct and to reorient the succeeding trial line to make its orientation correct.
