Are saying I should watch Scruton's programme or I need to? I did and enjoyed it but thought while he made several interesting points it was too idealist kept drifting out of reality into a platonic realm. Incidentally, I wrote that article independently.

stumbled on this article whilst writing an essay for art course. I am currently on an art foundationa dn am applying for fine art degree's. just to say thankyou
found this very inspiring. struggling with it all at the moment, art has to be a refelction of society , it has to communicate with the now, but i get that even tough the world is all a bit of a mess it too can be positive and contructive as opposed to the self indulgent act of a troubled mind. I really want to study degree in london, i really want to be in the center of it all, but finidng it hard to have conviction in my work. Finding this article just came at a brilliant time, must be a god thing. well i think so.
