Oh no! I didn't take offense. I was trying to be funny. There are definitely some snooty art people in this world. People who elevate themselves through belittling others live in a false state of grandeur. You're right, it does happen in every trade. I knew a guy who couldn't read letters, but he was fine reading numbers. He could use his number knowledge and his building knowledge to create practically anything. I could read to him, but I couldn't (still can't) build a house. It's the great ones you mentioned that teach with vigor that make some classes worthwhile. Wish there were more of them.

Where ever you learned of Seurat, thanks for sharing!
