Universities have gone from being centres of higher education to indoctrination centres. Who needs them? There are so many famous artists (in all disciplines) who never attended uni and became extremely successful and rich.
Think of Lennon and McCartney (and George and Ringo), Elvis, Cat Stevens, Frida Kahlo, Vincent van Gogh, Frank Lloyd Wright, Keith Haring, Yoko Ono, Mick Jagger, and on and on and on…
You go to art school at uni and the professors try to influence you and “guide” you to what they like, what they consider art, which is mostly “performance/conceptual art,” understand it as “theatrical” that belongs in Theatre School and not Art School…
You go to Theatre School and they only guide you, again, towards the style/form that the profesor likes! Good grief!
What ever happened to teaching and letting the student learn on his own and choose?
Besides, a good reason to avoid most unis is that they are mostly staffed with communists…
