The art eduction world is a very chaotic one full of confusing and bad information that can be incredibly difficult to navigate.  These are some thoughts from my experience as a student, teacher and professional.  This podcast episode is a little different as it is more of a monologue with some insights also from my friend and artist Katie Liddiard.  I hope some of the information is helpful.
