Old school
On the Art Renewal Site Igor Babailov states:
"Traditional academic education has become a touchy subject in the contemporary debate over what an art education should be. In the second half of the 20th century, the majority of art schools rejected the traditional approach in their programs, creating not only confusion and chaos in students' minds, but a diminished appreciation of fine art in viewers' eyes."
What can be done? I am not yet twenty and hoping to further my education in art. Are there still in existance today schools such as the Ecole Des Beaux-Arts? Do we have something similar to The Salon for professional artists to join? Thank you.
