I had a professor/mentor in college that frequently gave a speech pretty similar to this, but for art:
- It's about two way communication with another human,
- Tools (brushes, pencils &c.) and media are the paths to this connection,
- Art for art sake is bullshit, enrich your life and the life of the consumer,
- Otherwise, you will be very bad at this and,
- If you're in this class to become a rich and famous artist get the fuck out.
Surly old Irish man. I loved Sean.
