I LOVE talking art. I need to talk art, and Art, more. I don't want to let the critical analysis skills and the things I learned so far fall away from me too much because I'm not using them often enough. I have a BA in Art History, which means I had to take enough studio art classes to be the equivalent of a studio art minor. I'm not the most talented artist, and I can't draw from my imagination at ALL...but I think the lack of ability to draw from imagination might work well with your desire for conversation. I can ask you how you come up with the ideas, how you make them transition from mind to media. This will prompt you to consider it and express it, which might open new ideas or realizations so you can better your abilities. Make sense?
If you want critiques or support of your works, I'd be interested in seeing them sometime. Art history classes did give me a fair bit of analysis technique.
And I imagine it would be very frustrating to not have any expressionism/conceptual theory courses. Although, I'm not sure how they could go about teaching such a thing. It seems like something that has to be developed for each artist...but I could be wrong.
Hrmm...would more art history courses help? I know that we spent significant amounts of time going into why artists painted in the style they did, or what theories and principles motivated them. Learning about Dadaism was a lot of fun, and it enables me to make some arguments for modern art (which really does get a lot of negative critiques).
