Wait, what makes you think I don't place great worth in art, music, creativity? (Because you don't encourg people to study in college.) Uuh, ok, this is art, music, etc. we are talking about, correct?
The point that we are not [[[corroborating, seeing/meeting eye to eye__]]]] is this. Sigh. It is art, music, creativity. What exactly is there to study? You like art? Go do art, then. You just draw and paint, that's it. You want to sculpt? Go sculpt.
Some people might pipe up with the point that there is “technique” to learn. Ehh...
In terms of covering basics like color blending, shadow, proportions, line weight, these "techniques" are not complicated. I was blending crayons and colored pencils in pre-K. I've blended paints. No one had to teach me to do that. I simply observed that the palette did not have a color I wanted; therefore I was going to have to make my own. That's common sense. I first sculpted pottery using clay in seventh grade. It was a lot of fun.
Shading, texture, using different surfaces to produce whatever effect you want; a smooth, rough, or burlap feel. There are methods to add sparkly, brittle-gritty surface to a sculpture. Yeah, I learned that in elementary school. It was a lot of fun. I figured out a lot of other stuff on my own.
This is not particularly difficult to learn. Even so-called “advanced” techniques are not difficult to master. There exist art supply stores. The materials have use-and-care instructions on them. Modeling clay, too, can be found in art supply stores. So can pottery wheels. You just shape it into the shapes you want. For the pottery wheel, make sure the clay is pliable and wet and squishy enough. That’s it.
There is an introductory course in studio art, which probably mirrors the Advanced Placement- Studio Art course offered in high school. They learn pottery-making, sculpture, something like that. Again, not complicated. Hmmm... I suppose art students have access to certain equipment that is not available outside of designated art class, like... a kiln. That’s about it.
You want to write something? Just write; that's it. I learned how to be a writer from reading. All the important aspects of learning how to write were already [[taught, trained instilled in me back in grade school -- elementary, middle, and high school. In all honesty, college hasn't really taught me anything about writing that I did not already know. In even more honesty, only about half the [[[stuff, pphhhtt use a fancyr wd, use $1 wrd]]] I learned about writing while growing up was gleaned inside the classroom. I imbibed the other half of how to be a good writer by being a good reader. I devoured, consumed books.
It is a creative outlet. It supposed to be a time to relax, to let out your frustrations with the world. Let off some steam, express yourself, all that good stuff. A way to relax___
I think this is my main [[disconnect no concern no___]]]]. As strange as this might sound coming from me, I do not place great importance on "learning" art or music in a rigid and structured setting such as school. You’re harshing my game, yo; you’re cramping my style, cuz.
It is pure self-expression. The purpose is to dance and daydream and imagine and be silly. There is no need to place ((impose) arbitrary rules on a [[purpose?? function no establisent no]]] that is not meant for [[[[rules]]].
