My color/comp class (2nd sem freshman) is the fucking worst. We don't learn anything about composition or color theory. It's 10% bullshit assignments that would fit a middle-school level arts and crafts class. I'm not fucking kidding. One week, we all worked on a mural. The teacher gave us green paints and brushes and a big canvas on the wall. No one gave a shit and the mural is actually random paint splatters with no forethought or attention to any formal aspects. She said it looked great and hung it in the hallway.

Another project we've done was called "lovely things, hateful colors." We were instructed to make booklets of drawings of things we liked with a 4 color scheme of colors we hated. Again, no color theory, no emphasis on strong composition.

No one in this class cares and few can actually draw ok. Doesn't matter

It's so obvious she uses a reference for the faces.

Who makes me mad? Everyone who draws heavily from reference (as in copying, not studying and applying - you know what I mean), doesn't mention it / credit source and slaps a gazillion TOTES ORIGINAL DO NOT STEEL warnings around it.

Why? I don't know. I guess it's because there's all those little nuances I know the maker couldn't have created if it weren't for a ready instructions from the reference. What really annoys me is people who have no idea about this and praise "wow so real r u god" etc.

I mean studies are good. They're important and you can learn from them. I can't respect someone much who does nothing else and labels themselves as professional, except for their technical skills (if they happen to be good).
