My time so far with Jude at WVSA

Hey folks, Eddy here.
I've been observing Jude at WVSA for the past two weeks and I must say that I enjoy the environment as well as the students. The environment is really lax and there is room too really help each student develop their individual techniques. My only concern is the lack of structure with regard to a curriculum and the like. This might be due to the fact that the art works that are created in Jude's class are works created to sell, which is the main goal of the students from my talks with Jude. Another reason is for the learning disabilities and other issues that may limit goal setting. I feel as though something is missing. I know the students have learning disabilities, but they have been able to learn how to draw, paint etc. I think it would be more productive to have the students learn more about what they do as well as better techniques in order to enhance their products. If in fact the art work is made in order to garner income then it makes sense to enhance the artwork in order to solicit better prices for the work.
