>>4602803I could be wrong, but I feel that In the west they generally do not encourage art, unless it is performative, like Dancing or acting. If you were to go to any book store in america, you would see tons of cheap draw-the-owl books made for "children" looking to get a quick buck out of people who are wanting to pursue an interest that they have.
If I recall, the art curriculum in school is also way better outside of america. and similar to what
>>4602807said, in the west everything is about Patting yourself on the back for mediocrity, and celebrating art styles. This is because the only people interested in art is the internet, and we all know how sensitive they are, lol.
