All good points, of course... I think that photo-realism definitely has a place in -- someone mentioned this already -- ART-101. I think that the principles of Art in regards to perspective, balance, etc... all need to be understood and an artist needs to be proficient in their use before those laws can be "broken".

AppleCider, you bring up some good points, but I don't know if I agree with you about every world has to have laws that it conforms to. Looking at, say, Picasso or Dali, some of their works definitely didn't have laws that they conformed to. (How come the clocks bent but the branches didn't?)

I think the laws are especially meant to be broken in the terms of Graphic Design... Where would all the perfectly balanced/color-corrected pieces be without the occasional standout with "bad" color and a completely off balance design?
