Reply to comment by RSwordsman in LPT: Art cannot be taught. It has to be embraced, lived, and learned, and comes from within. Anyone who advertises dance, music, or painting/drawing lessons is probably scamming you. You cannot teach passion. by [deleted]

If they're advertising, they're not picking from a select group of people with talent.

Hard truth.

Yes, they are, if they know things. Have you ever taken classes on these subjects in school? They don't teach you what is and isn't art, just offer you tools on how to create it with more depth and refinement.

Accepted as an undergraduate in performance art at a couple of tier 1 universities.

Might know what I'm talking about.

But you probably know better than I do.

Congratulations, I'm waiting for you to either revolutionize several art forms with your wisdom or at least make it big as a performer without listening to those snooty egg-heads.

The closest I've gotten to education in art is an associate's degree in game design (which of course includes art assets) and independent study in writing and music. But I'd be far worse in all of those fields with no instruction.

Anyway, hope you find happiness inside or outside of formal programs.
