In contemporary practice, the character of the painter's classes is largely shaped by the students themselves, although they still operate largely as a creative community. It is interesting that the students cling to the title “master” as a seemingly dignified form of authority, perhaps even subconsciously longing for traditions they believe have been lost. Today there are no all‑out manifestos and cries that eclipse each other. One who speaks of polarisation might also be thinking of enriching diversity, but in a negative sense can speak of the loss of substance through trivialisation. The invocation of a universal progression, however, generates the image of homogenisation in the minds of others. What remains very important is the artist’s persona; education is primarily concerned with the individuality of the student. Nevertheless, the phrase “self‑actualisation” is now passé, and the misunderstood genius’s romance belongs to the past. The search for authenticity is at the same time the shaping of ourselves; it is no longer so much about a caricatured artist’s persona dominating everything that matters, but about the sensitivity and personal nature of the individual message. The all‑consuming radicalism in the visual arts has become a repetitive theatricality; the roles have been replaced by truly lived personal lives. This mentality has become important in art education as well, rejecting the cult of formalism that persists as a residue of modernism. Alongside individual sensitivity, the process of identity‑seeking determines the direction of the creator. Education is in fact a constantly evolving discourse within a community; in this sense the art student has already slipped into a process. Their relationship is defined by the consensus that has already been established. From the process of discourse emerges a class character, around which, hopefully only in a spirit that can be matched by the soul, independent works are born by inspiring one another.
