Er, I'm just saying, for people creating art, as I said in the other post, you're either an artist (or perhaps an aspiring artist) or a craftsman. You're either doing something new and interesting or you're replicating something that's already been done. I do think there are plenty of things that are art-related that can't be taught, and those are the most important things.
Sorry, I'm really sleepy and probably not making myself clear.
But I will say, the best thing about art is the furthering of your techniques. Feeling like you're stumbling on something new.. really growing and learning and evolving.. and I think it's cool, whatever a person wants to do to further that technique.. whether it's school or whatever.. whatever a person needs to do to feel like they're making good work, even if its' by emulating other artists, I mean.. whatever makes you happy, right?
I think most artists, and people associated with the "Art world", take this shit all so seriously. I know a guy who sold a painting for $100 in New York and he thinks he's God. Shrug.
