My sister spent 2 years at art college. She's a talented artist when it comes to drawing, charcoal and painting. She jacked it in after an examination, in which she submitted a series of 3 acrylic paintings of post apocalyptic cityscapes, technically superb with the kind of detail that keeps you looking for ages, discovering new things. She was told by the assessment panel that she didn't have a future in art, as her work was "too precise and polished". Another candidate in her class had spattered paint onto a canvas by flicking it with a spoon, which the panel considered to be a work of genius.
she fucked off art college and went into nursing.
