Living in a culture that values its rich artistic history probably has a dramatic effect on the quality of teaching. You don't realize how much art is devalued in the US, particularly compared to the emphasis on sports and business, until you see how much it is valued in places like France and Italy.

But then I have always been impressed with the level of talent in France (and Europe in general); their painters, illustrators, comics artists and so on... Perhaps the style of tuition there has something to do with it? Or the fact that a long history of art is all around you if you live there? This school has been impressing me for years.
