The painting and drawing programs at IU focus almost entirely on the representational and teach nothing about the other, less material aspects of making art-- and I really mean that. There is only ONE, count em, ONE class in the entire painting/drawing cirriculum that is non-observational.

I have no problem at all with representational artwork, because it can be beautiful, life drawing skills are *so* necessary, and it's very important to have a solid base on which to draw from when doing art-- but I'm disturbed by the fact that even the upper level classes absolutely ignore any of the theory behind it, or how to but our base skills to use. There are no classes on abstract painting, or illustration, or expressionism, or, well, *anything*.
