Learning as-you-do-it is more efficient and effective than classrooms or textbook reading.
Could academic subjects remodel themselves on meditation apps, asks?

This is art school

I know this probably varies a ton, but curious for your take: to what extent are activities in art school *about* “doing art” (like “I’m going to meditate this morning”) vs. *about* “doing an exercise to improve as an artist” (like “I’m going to do this structured bio lab”)?

IME, mostly it was doing (plus ignoring the given exercises). Immersion + libraries. Most good insights came from casual discussions with peers, not tutors. But that may be quality of the institution. And that also might just be better.

For me it was almost entirely doing-art. Badly, awkwardly, amateurishly, but doing-the-actual-thing not doing-an-exercise-to-learn. There was constant critique and judgment w/ the goal of developing and evolving, but not b/c we were students, more of: that's just what artists do.
