1 last point about studio that wasn't said yet. Studio is about craft (we all know that), but what we haven't said is that studio education is not just master > apprentice, but it is also apprentice < > apprentice. Your peers are probably 50-75% of the source of your education in studio. They can do this b/c they are THERE. They are with you. They see your sculptures/models as they walk back and forth to their desks. They add impromptu critiques, offer new skills and actually HELP you through it all.
Just having the ability to say, "Psst! come here, can you look at this for a sec.?" or "Hey! I saw your model and you used X material, how do you do that?" is a priceless part of the learning process AND further adds to the relationship building that exists within the studio that makes critique work. Oh! ok, I've just got to to do this. No offense to all my twitter friends, but ambient intimacy is a false god of relationships. Sure, I like you all, but that is not a relationship built on trust and experience and to even think that it is anyway related to real-world relationships is delusional at best and well down right scary otherwise. -- dave -- dave . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
