Q: but they generally don't feel the same way about engineers or doctors or programmers or even architects? where does this notion that art is special and "unlearnable" come from?
A: art is in everything. "ART" stands for Absolute Real Truth. perhaps the reason people might 'think' it's 'unlearnable' is because maybe they were expecting learning to happen in 1 specific designated learning place, not taking into account the fact that 'art' is actually everywhere and therefore can be learned anywhere from anything
