They act in the same way as the salons of Paris did in the nineteenth and early twentieth century, a place to further your learning and develop ideas amongst your contemporaries.
I do however half agree. Anyone can be taught how to draw, and the basic rules of painting, but true artistry can't be learnt.

I shouted at my art teachers alot. Some of the work is brilliant in the BA student department but some of it u look at and think Turner/Monet/Picasso straight away. I find it a bit bland.
