Kakki, Interesting- I was in art school in the early 70s. The formal classes were taught...formally, and I felt I learned a lot. But once I got into the higher studio painting classes, we were left to our own devices. We could paint whatever we wanted. BUT, at the critiques- that's where we learned about the specifics. Not only classical things like composition, color, etc., but we had to defend/explain the reason for our paintings- what problems we were trying to figure out. WHY we were painting that particular piece and how it related to the previous pieces...and what we might do in our next.
Great experience.

I know to some extent that some art teachers believed you either "had it" inherently or you didn't. It's something for me to ponder about in retrospect. >> <A HREF="http://www.addconsults.com";>www.addconsults.com</A>
