Rant about art schools

Wed Jul 8, 2009, 8:31 PM
I was drawing at work because I had nothing to do. The two other children saw my stuff and naturally asked what I was drawing. I said I was drawing a Nobody which was true because I was drawing Marluxia. The mother got pulled by her daughter and saw the Akuroku ( I did not explain that they are two guys, not 1 girl and 1 guy; guess who they thought was the girl. ) piece. She asked whether I was in an art school. I said yes because theoretically speaking, ADM is an art school. But we all know that it's more towards design rather art in fine arts sense. So the mother told the children that it's because I'm in an art school that I can draw so well.

People who know me well know that I don't go for art classes. Never had money for that. Barely had enough money to have academic tuition. LOL.

I am what you would term as self taught, though books and sheer practice (okay, for manga. I don't really practice fine art stuff. ) on an almost daily basis. I picked up PS through messing around with it too. Colour pencilling too.

How to shade or colour? I am stumped by such a question. I did it by intuition. I learnt through experience.

My family never encourage me to do art.

In the early days, I did my stuff in secret.

Then I didn't care anymore.

What does me drawing have to do with other people?

Art needs a little talent.

But it needs a hell lot more practice and observation.

Art schools do not mean that you will draw like Michelangelo after attending their classes. Goodness, there will a whole score of them already.

Art is always a continuous learning process.

Disclaimer: I am not shooting at any art schools, Singapore or elsewhere, ok? I just find it a tad irritating when people assume you learn it all in art schools. My experience tells me that this doesn't apply to all people.
