This is what you said: "I think Painting and Art are Fine Arts." And what? They are somehow separate from a University's Liberal Arts program? Why? Because Tastes Like Chicken claims he studied Painting and Sculpture? Whew. You must have really overclocked your little computer to come up with that observation. There's no canyon too deep for you "folks". I informed you that they may very well be separate from a universities liberal arts program, although they might not be. That is simply true......

Now each man judges well the things he knows, and of these he is a good judge. And so the man who has been educated in a subject is a good judge of that subject, and the man who has received an all-round education is a good judge in general. Hence a young man is not a proper hearer of lectures on political science; for he is inexperienced in the actions that occur in life, but its discussions start from these and are about these; and, further, since he tends to follow his passions, his study will be vain and unprofitable, because the end aimed at is not knowledge but action. And it makes no difference whether he is young in years or youthful in character; the defect does not depend on time, but on his living, and pursuing each successive object, as passion directs. For to such persons, as to the incontinent, knowledge brings no profit; but to those who desire and act in accordance with a rational principle knowledge about such matters will be of great benefit. ---Aristotle, Nicomachean Ethics
