15 Things I Learned At Art School

  1. Being naked in class is okay.

  2. A strong cleansing agent removes oil paint, colored dye, and skin.

  3. Strange is relative.

  4. When it looks nice, stop.

  5. A good artist is a good businessperson.

  6. Wear the respirator.

  7. Money does not buy good taste.

  8. Change perspective and everything else changes.

  9. No grocery store will give you supper for 17¢.

  10. Try watercolors... and your patience.

  11. Some of the cute ones aren’t all gay.

  12. You don’t have to enjoy the art to appreciate it.

  13. Shadows are never black.

  14. Don’t drop your egg salad sandwich in the oil paint.

  15. Anyone can be an artist if they practice art every day.
