docuit is artem vivendi, docuit ea artem amandi

for is/ea, you could also use puer/puella (boy/girl)
Peer comment(s):

agree Joseph Brazauskas : Excellent. The genitive is more common than 'in' (or 'de')+ the ablative.

'Ille' and 'hic/haec' might be used here to avoid repetition of 'is'.

'Scire' + an infinitive expresses 'how to . . . '
