Under Prop 13 constraints, art and music programs were eliminated from schools here in California. Many other states eliminated them as not necessary... all those "back to basics!" preachers who think that children need only to learn arithmetic and grammer in order to be educated got their wish as the arts and sciences were cut from school budgets. 30 years later, we have an entire generation of adults who can't SEE, have no trained sense of design (or color, composition, perspective), and who are now responsible for patterns on fabric, magazine layouts, paper towels, and CD covers. The saddest thing of all to me is that an "artist" turned this work in, unable to see the numerous flaws, and that an "art director" accepted it as good enough to put before the customers. I wouldn't accept this as a design for toilet paper. Carolly
