Enjoy the art v. craft arguments? Go to uni where the argument dominates conversations and you get to write papers about it. That will suck the fun right out of the discussion. :0D

This is what I was taught at college: anyone learning a craft is akin to a kindergartener on fingerpaint Friday. He's a five year old and mommy calls him an "artist." Without the proper education, or old fashioned apprenticeship, you are neither an artisan nor an artist. You might someday be a "folk artist" or "naive painter" if the proper folks so designate. It's like trying to get into a New York co-op. Otherwise, everyone is a hobbyist or crafter.

I'd like my tuition refunded.
