LOL Alex, I did my master's thesis in survey research document construction and administration.

Heidi I answered both polls, I assume by "formal" art education you mean a tradtional university or equivalent setting. My bachelor's degree was a whole lot of fun (1970's) - and certainly wonderful in terms of its liberal arts content, but essentially worthless in terms of pursuing a career in art.

A formal education interms of atelier training, though, I think would be far different. Same with workshop study.
