Poll #1 - The value of a formal art education, part 1




Some of us thought it might be a good idea to put this question into the form of a poll. Answer part 1 if you have a formal background in art education. If not, answer the questions in Poll #2.

It will be interesting to see the percentages as a group from a large number of established portrait artists. Feel free to verbalize your answers in the topic in this section entitled

Those who try to discourage us
