Michael,

In my view, the present lot of professors and art schools are inadequate to train anybody. Few ever became artists by taking a single art class at a school. If, however, we start training all our children in the primary fundamentals of fine art at an early age, they may not even need any "degree" to succeed in art. But I am not even talking about necessarily becoming professional. I am talking about teaching every child to draw, whether they become professional or not. If children have an instinctive ability to draw, as I believe we all do, we owe it to them to help them learn. Let them decide whether they want to make a living at it or not.
