Question: Did anyone here actually get taught anything in school art classes? I had to teach myself everything (and incompletely at that) despite taking art for literally my whole time in school, and I’m wondering how universal that is.

#literally like I was never taught perspective; composition; colour theory; or even just like how to paint in any medium at all #I had one good teacher who was good at guiding me toward stuff I wanted to try but I was still never really taught any even basic skills #And yet art colleges seem to expect you to know everything before accepting you anyway #I'm working on that but still it's annoying that in my 16 years at school I wasn't really taught anything that I need in that department
