Some of my favorite artists...

Just have to say this to any *teachers* of art out there.
Never squash any non conventional thinkers thinking about colors or art or any forms of artistic creativity.

To this day, years later I still remember my one highschool art teacher, yelled at me for my attempting to do my 6 wks on *advertisment* art because I opted to use colors of a sunset like pinks and oranges, and was doing a *cosmetics* art for my project. All she did was yell at me bout my color choices, and she about stunted any love I had for creativity and art down the toilet.

BAH NEVER STUNT NO ONES ARTISTIC ENDEVOURS !

They will remember it YEARS later and say ...YOU WERE WRONG
to chastise me for thinkin outside of the box !

Agreed - what I really appreciated about my teachers at the time was that they said "You can break all the rules about creating art you want, but you have to know the rules first."

I have to admit that I think back on my high school teacher telling me that I'd never be able to make a living in art drawing dragons and monsters... LOL. I can appreciate what she was trying to do, but you have to find another way to direct your students rather than just tell them that they will never be able to make aliving at their passion.
