thing is right
you shouldn't need to study art to be a good artist, and I suspect that it rather gets in the way, because those who teach art are almost certainly going to be completel shitbags of the highest order.

As someone who is married to an ME type
I hear some choice words about CEs

you should CEs talk about architects
my other half is a structural engineer. My bro and his wife are both architects. Makes for interesting family gatherings.

Yeah, my brother in law is a CE too
He keeps asking mr b3th for advice, which frankly just reinforces the prejudice.

I think that if there are those who want to develop their own style
then studying the different forms, shadowing current ones and spending many years in various places/schools would make sense.

I just assign no value to the ones who think they are of the same ilk after pissing a few years away at university, interspersing their factory-produced curriculae with 5-for-1 drinks at 80's night.
