"...I found Art Renewal a few years ago and I have met some younger artists who ignore the academy and have taught themselves drawing, modeling, illusion, color theory and technique. I hear that the art schools are being ignored in favor of private studio classes that teach a classical approach. The students themselves are rediscovering the Masters of the past and are striving to build upon their accomplishments..."

I am one such artist. Multiple derees in Engineering, I left Product Design last year to persue the fine arts. I tought myself with books and constantly studying the "masters".

Quite refreshing. I attended art school in the early eighties. While it wasn't overtly political, it did submit to the de rigeur criteria of modernism in art. I was a Bougereau fan back then and was generally dismissed. I was simply ahead of my time. I have not painted for a while now mostly because my time is taken up by raising four young girls. And no, they are not worth sacrificing on the altar of the Bitch-Goddess Art. To everything there is a season.
