That's subjective and entirely your opinion.
Interesting about the Avatar courses being used. It's definitely a Scientology squirrel (and very thinly disguised at that). Of course since a lot of the human potential movement has roots in Scientology, i'm not surprised that industry members are going "back to basics".
What pisses me off is that they sell shit shit as "personal development" and not as bat-shit crazy cult quackery. If they were up front about it and it was with fully informed consent, i'd have no problem (of course, then nobody would sign up!). It's the deception and lack of informed consent that annoys me.

That is actually a good way to teach color mixing. My painting professor would never let us use black out of the tube. We always had to mix our own. Regardless of the reasons, it'll do the kids good in the long run.

I am a painter, and I can safely say NEVER USE BLACK!!! It flattens the FUCK out of everything. Boooo, black!
Paynes gray, all the way. Most of my work had a very graphic, poster-like feel to it, and they look like I used black, but there is not a drop in any of them. Paynes gray is a godsend, because it makes everything nice and juicy, and it mixes well with other colors.
As far as brown... I don't even think there IS a brown out of the tube. (Not with any legitimate paint company there isn't.) There won't even be any pigment with the word "brown" in it. Normally you choose from things such as burnt or raw umber, or burnt or raw sienna. Red oxide is nice, too.
I am Golden Acrylics' bitch.
Also, what the fuck are 18-24 year olds doing using fucking crayons in art class? You mean conte crayons, right? Or pastels? Surely you don't mean crayola.
And, even though this Steve Jr. poster is obviously having us on, did Rookey really have a kid?

The "ban on black" has nothing to do with learning color-mixing techniques. Apparently the Rudolph Steiner folks think black and brown are "negative" colors. And yes, I am talking about Crayola crayons, since Waldorf Schools are elementary schools.
You'll like their take on karma and bullying. They don't believe in stepping in to put a stop to it. They believe that the victim must have done something to the bully in a past life, hence the bully needs to work whatever it is out of his/her system. If things get so out of hand that something needs to be done, the victim's family is pressured into inviting the bully over to their home and being extra nice, in the hopes that this will appease him/her.
Sound familiar? It's really all the victim's fault, not the bully's. Y'all are responsible for everything that ever happened to you, even as children.

wait, just because I dislike using black when painting, what makes you think I'll like their take on karma and bullying?
