As I understand it, “masterpiece” is a hold over from the days of apprenticeship. When you had learned all your master could teach, you created a “piece” to prove you were a master of your craft.

I have a 14 year old teen who likes to hang with me. He played chess with me on the set I built (go to heckydiddledolls.com to see it), and he critiqued the artwork, in a truthful and honest manner – said the black lion looked like it was drooling a little, the white lion looked great, a couple of the cheetahs (knights) looked a little like giraffes, and the kittens were adorable! He also added that to paint on a circular tube must be difficult, especially the learning curve. He starts algebra this year, and I gave him a book Geek Logic.

Not bad fro someone who never took algebra!
