>>5883714Yeah it's a shame that none of the people they pay and no one close to them can give them honest feedback.
A huge benefit of academic drawing was that everyone had the same goal to get towards so both the students and the teachers could judge the work and give you objective truths about how you are progressing towards the goal. They weren't judging your creativity or soul or value as a human being, they were just judging you like you would judge a mathematics exam.
Now there is no unified goal in most art instruction courses, people actively rebel against being taught realism or even just a single style, you have to judge every piece of art with the intention of the student to use a "style" which dilutes the instruction or outright undermines it
and you cannot give honest feedback because you risk giving it to a mentally unstable joke of a human who will crumble or lash out.
