Wow! Interesting thread. I kind of enjoyed art classes as a younger person, beit composition or history. I did tend to get a bit frustrated by what I percieved as too much subjectivity, but looking back, I'm glad I took art. There's a ton of theory out there. Yes, we have these personal feelings about a certain art piece, but in the end it kind of relates to the objective theory being used.
A few years ago, I saw First Position, a movie about ballet (a youth ballet competition), something I really didn't know too much about. But now, I'm a big fan, and follow a few dancers and companies on FB. Amazing amount of discipline in ballet, and really, in any art, if you pursue it with true craftsmanship.
I thought I had more to say, but I guess not. This thread is already so big.
