There is a lively discussion going on about What is Good Art on TAB
list (What kids perceive to be "good art"). I have to admit, I have
not read all of it... I missed where it started. It is mixed in with
"pencil peeves" posts.... Just go there and browse - they have had
some good meaty discussions on budget and other topics as well.
