The Myths of Graphic Education

Myth One

- Visual forms of creativity are purposeful for potential.

The School

- schools seeking rather than feeling embarrassed about a unified character of a school's design.

- The graduates who are not motivated beyond what was learned in school are better off following an organizational and investigative premiss than grope for inventive visualization.

- An individual's artistry blossoms from knowledge and intensity. Schools can provide this free interpret, control, experiment, and communication as well as the room to express.

Faculties

- Designers that cannot distinguish personality and the potential within are very narrow minded.

- The Assignments must be correct in relation to educational rather than employment goals.

Schools should not be criticized

- A school should not be criticized because the work of a students work.

- There maybe same work in portfolio can be helpful as it will incline a twist on the students work durning investigations and critiques.

- Students after encouragement will become confident and intrigued by the complex challenges of alternatives.

Divorce the terms Liberal and Education
