# 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.
