you're not ALLOWED to incorporate "ologies"?!?!?! What kind of crack are your teachers on? I know that courses on anatomy drawing and such are pretty straight forward in purpose, but a color or design theory class should allow you to incorporate a couple of "ologies" in my opinion. *sigh* Its sad when teachers impose their theories/beliefs/opinions on how art should look and what it should show on their students. I had an infuriating teacher in high school who would give bad grades if you didn't create things the way he thought they should be made, he even went so far as to work on students' works "for" them to "improve" them without their consent. I hate that man to this day.
And yes, I want to go into art conservation as a career. Someday. But I need a masters degree in the field, but in order to get into the graduate programs I have to have experience, but in order to get experience I have to have the degree. Its a retarded cycle, and difficult to break into when one isn't willing/able to live as a poor artist. Right now I have a job that pays bills, lets me live a good life, and pay off my minor debts. After that is settled I'll see about being a starving artist.
