Illestofill, your name is a Ringling reference. Do you have some sort of grudge against George? Part of the reason this video is great is because he shares his life experiences and the journey he took learning how to draw and paint. If Jeff Jones were to see your comment here she'd slap you for aggressive ignorance. For a student like you who has much learning about art left to do, it would be better for you to keep your mind receptive to learning rather than cherrypick styles. George is amazing
Let me guess, your idea of a good painting is copying the cover art of your favorite video game character in nauseating detail. Artists' talent and style come from their experiences and studying old masters, their peers, and the world around them to gain knowledge. He's sharing his knowledge. And I guarantee you every one of those students in that room fully appreciate it and in realizing its value are gaining something from it. Pity for you.
That statement just goes to show you have no idea what you're talking about. He probably just gave you more valuable art information in 3 1/2 minutes than you've learned your entire life...and it all went over your head.
George Pratt is one of the most generous and helpful teachers I have ever had.

@illestofill He does seem to enjoy basking in reflected glory. That painting is horrendous.
