I remember being SO ANGRY with one of the 'Art Lecturers' at Uni when my daughter did her Art Degree. He told tried to embarrass her in class saying she would 'never make a true artist because her work was to pretty, pretty' all because she would not distort the naturally beautiful portraits/arts she produced. Her stance was 'its my art and my expressions, thats a true artist'. She has a way about her art that makes things, identical to the subject but with a slight beauty about it. When we went to the End of Year Open Display Evening at the uni, I was literally appalled at some of the disgusting crass/pornographic art, and could barely believe that it was even the same subject and classes that she had taken! She came away with a 2-1 (2nd highest in her class) and pleased to say higher than those who had produced the filth the Lecturer wanted them too. Enough said!
