The best school for art is personal observation , technique is unimportant and only for wanna bee's, If the talent is there it will surface on its own accord.I know there are art departments at some Universities but does anyone know if there is a school to study only art(drawing, painting etc.)?
Thanks for any information.

I am happy for your daughter and wish her all the luck in the world Temple U is a great school, I have no knowledge of their art department though. I have many friends that are FIT ( Fashion Institute of Technology) a paramount school of the arts, most were talented, none successful. That said one should learn art history ( I guess) one can learn how to hold a pencil, mix paint and study anatnomy and have a Phd but still not an artist. If it's there, it's there.I have to disagree. In addition to innate talent, an artist must be a master of his/her tools, media, and techniques. Whether it is as an apprentice (the historical method of arts education) or as a student, artists have been taught their crafts all through history. Sure, give a talented painter a few brushes, canvas, and some paints and he/she will produce a painting. They might even get better over time... but to be GOOD, artists must learn.
(Not to mention the fact that my daughter has just graduated from the Tyler School of Art (Temple University). yay!!!)
and your point is ?Tyler School of Art has an excellent reputation in the art community, and does wonderful community based programs as well to bring art into public school in Philly. And they attract resident artists from all over the world. Anyone could drop a name like FIT, so saying you have friends there is no real feat.
