There is a process here, you study the classics, but not alone, you study the classics with mentors. And by combining those three things together, you are constantly moving forward and doing good things and new things. You go back to the great artists and almost all of them got their inspiration from things that they saw from other artists or from the landscape. So you only study the classics half of the time. In my mind, the goal of education is to prepare us to be decent, effective and good human beings.
Balance is greatness in a number of areas.
