I read your title thinking I was going to get all affronted
as I am studying art, in a manner of speaking.

But I actually agree with much of your content.
You would probably never paint me as an art student from the outside alone (unless you got me engaged in some pretentious art wank conversation or saw me in my paint-splattered artclothes). But then I'm not exactly Miss High Street fashion either.

For the record, I found sixth form college much the same - a bunch of nearly adults breaking free from the shackles of mummy and daddy and seeing who could be most 'alternative'.

The hell of it is
there's no shortage of people with artistic talent, just a shortage of people who'll actually do anything useful with it. Having artistic talent in itself is nowhere near enough, yet most of them think they're Andy Warhol.

They annoy me.
