In fact on some of them, I have done previous posts that might help. <br /><br />1. Who are the most controversial or unorthodox artists or teachers (in fine art)? Why? What do you think of them?<br />Try searching "Art Schools" in the "Blog Index. You'll meet many of the art teachers I've met.<br /><br />2. Who are the most impressive lesser-known teachers (fine art)?<br />I don't know other than the ones I've met. See previous question.<br /><br />3. What makes you who you are? Who trained or influenced you?<br />Put "Interview" in the search box at the upper left of the blog and you'll find links to several interview that address this question.<br /><br />4. What are the biggest mistakes and myths you see in your field? What are the biggest wastes of time?<br />I'm not interested in judging other peoples' mistakes because I make enough of my own. <br /><br />5. What are your favorite instructional books or resources on fine arts? If people had to teach themselves, what would you suggest they use?<br />Search "Instructional Books" or "Art Instruction Books" in the search box. We've done several polls. Also in the back of Color and Light and Imaginative Realism books, I list many of my favorites.<br /><br />6. If you could train someone for a short period of time, say 4-8 weeks, what would you focus on?<br />It depend what they want to accomplish. By reading through the blog, you can find the things that matter the most to me.<br /><br />Hope that helps.<br />James Gurneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01870848001990898499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-12449394159672453762015-11-11T03:20:35.079-05:002015-11-11T03:20:35.079-05:00Hello!
