# even at degree level
we looked at what established folk were up to and to a point emulated what they were doing, as you progress and become more confident and experienced although there will be an obvious influence in your work it soon becomes more your own. there really isn't much out there that hasn't at some point bindun already.

# I think that art (in general)
is rarely without influence or inspiration. What makes it special is the individual's take on it

# precisely
we're going to have to wait for yet more new technology to appear before we get anything truly original, even then it's going to be hard not be influenced by what has come before, almost impossible i'll wager unless a blind from birth artist suddenly regains his/her sight and within seconds of this miracle happening gets to work.

# I don't see the point in forcing kids to copy something when
they're showing an interest in their own style and exploring it, though.

But then that's just me, I'm not a trained teacher or anything. I just wonder what it would have been like if Kandisnky's teacher went 'What the fuck is that? Do it like Remrandt' etc.

# ^this
This is why I failed Art GCSE. Also: lack of talent. :(

# I got an E.
Not for lack of talent (I'm not great, but I'm hardly shit), just because I never did any contextual research work. Basically, I just wanted to use up all their materials and do as I pleased.

# I am the same
except I got a D. I always preferred drawing cartoons, which I still do occasionally.(see Beatles quiz for recent example of style).

# bad grade for doing as you pleased...
if you were happy, i'd say it was a fair trade.

i got an E in A Level Business Studies because I lost interest because we got through 4 different teachers in the space of 2 years, which isn't as good a trade-off, i feel.

# I just wish I'd been allowed to keep some of my big pieces
that mysteriously 'couldn't be found' when I left school and now apparently are hanging in the art department.

That'll be the paintings you called shit then. Right.

# I'm convinced
that this is exactly what happened with my photography work.

# HAhahahahah, I sincerely hope so.
If that's why they've got them then they've got my blessing.

# ^ why I failed my A level
did my chit with no preparation
(like I had to demonstrate what a good gimp I was!)
you can't deny that you have never been inspired by anyone else tho.
Everyboy and I mean EVERYBODY has been inspired by something even if it was the dog rubbing its genitals on the sofa

# To be perfectly honest, this style I'm using isn't inspired by anything.
I discovered it by accident when doing a vexel of Mushroom.

But pretty much everything else has been influenced.

# ahh so it had nothing to do with the dog and the sofa then?
;P

# Heheheh :P
It was when I did a black and white vexel of Mushroom that I was bored, so I coloured it in.
I decided to colour it quite simply, because I wouldn't be bothered to do it any other way, and it just...worked.
