Totally unrelated but what was your grade school's art department budget like?
It was fine, but I was told my paintings were awful when I was 5. That last bit's actually true. The fact that I very clearly remember it happening is interesting. I should pay for therapy so that I can blame everything on my primary school teacher.
Wow. You were 5, what a ridiculous thing to say to a 5-year-old.
Here's some fun society-wide cognitive dissonance for you:
Every single possible way to make, spend or transfer money throughout the world requires creative writing and visual messaging. Every single freaking thing.
And yet nobody gives a shit if their kid doesn't do all that great or even refuses to take art and creative writing courses. Nobody tells their kid, "okay, fine, you got that A in math but what's with this C in art? What's up with that?"
We're pretty damn good at scooping up the STEM stars. But there are shitloads of kids out there who suck at physics but could easily become successful videographers, illustrators, writers, motion graphic designers or sound engineers and don't because the world tells them not to take any of that stuff seriously.
And it's the other half the entire fucking economy.
