I call Visual Arts the Science of Art because we don't learn how to do art, because you can't LEARN art. It's too abstract to be learnt like English and Math, or History, or that sort of thing. No, what we learn how to do is how to hold a paintbrush correctly, and paint how the teacher likes it. I learn nothing in Art, it's boring, I'm hopeless at it, and also I don't care how I apply paint, it's the art itself that I appreciate.
"Such and such applied modelling paste in this way, thus you must love it."
We were learning about postmodernism but what amuses me that we were learning it the old, traditional way.
I also hate the way poetry is taught in English, because we pick poems to pieces. I believe it's the poem itself that should be appreciated as a piece of art in its own right, not a bunch of oxymorons, metaphors, and other such literary tools. @@;
Yeah, this year we rotate between French and Japanese, then we pick one, or just get thrown into one if there aren't enough teachers of that language available.
