When I got to art as an undergraduate student, I felt like, oh, this is amazing. I want to be able to learn all of these things. But my program, like most art schools, was basically entirely conceptual. So I didn’t have any practical classes in terms of like how do you learn how to paint better?
You just have studio time where you sort of figure it out by yourself, and then you have crit classes where you gather with artists or other students who are all doing totally different things, and then you just talk about your project for an hour.
