In the first chapter of Art Lessons the author basically gives us an in depth definition of what she believes the word artist means. She explains how some people believe only a few people can really call themselves artists, and how others believe that everyone is an artist in some way.
The second chapter focuses mainly on 5 things the author believes are crucial for aesthetic education. The simplest being learn to write and develop your technical skills. The others were a little more about relating to your audience and being aware of your environment.
The third chapter explains how school is not the only way to become an artist. There are many paths you can take on the road and most of them intertwine and connect to back to each other. You don't have to pick one and feel like it's the only way.
I guess the thing that hit me hardest from the reading was the comment at the beginning of the third chapter about taking an active role in your learning. There are so many outlets for learning out there and school is just one of those. To truly excel at anything you need be aware of all the teachings around you and soak up as much as you can get and go back for more if you want to succeed.
