One more thing:

I am now a full-time student at a private artist's atelier ( rigorous art training).

I am highly active in the art community in my state and region. I have spoken to many, many **many** artists who were thoroughly disgusted with the quality of their art training in their university and at the expense. Ateliers, not only in fine art, but other areas of study, seem to be becoming more popular. **Serious** artists are abandoning the universities.

Congratulations to you, I would like to do that some day as well. I am a rather serious amature myself.
