Silly, i've been painting and sketching for decades(though i lost the fire about 8-9 years ago, and am now just considering getting back into it), had a few works in the Philadelphia Art museum (HS days), and i've never taken a single college math class. History= equally irrelevant. English and language classes= equally irrelevant.
These things have -nothing- to do with art. Hell, they have less than
nothing to do with art.
All one needs to be an artist is paper, pencil, eyes, a soul, and inspiration. And nothing else.
Nothing.
Spending time around other artists and learning their techniques would be useful, which is why i was interested, but again- this has
nothing to do with a general college curriculum.
It is a TOTAL money grab, and nothing else.
