Seemed to me to be quite self defeating, since much of art can be technique
and construction and each discipline could use aspects of the other. But no - what there is rather, is class distinction, one to good for the other, and the other not good enough.
The major time allotment of the Group Dynamics class, was the breakup of the class into two groups, and each group given separate classrooms. There were considered four stages of group dynamics, as the 'getting to know one another', 'fight for pecking order', and the 'comfort zone group', where everyone knows there place and dislikes outsiders coming in and disrupting the status quo called a clique. The fourth type of group was one in which all the members of the group engage in play-acting of one kind or another, as an aid to other members of the group, to elevate their consciousness. This last form was said to be a group option least exercised.
There was the leader, the body guards, advisers and followers. For my final paper I posited another character identity new to the science. This was the spiritual adviser. This I discovered because this was my role, and watching myself in these different group situations, I noticed that I always assumed the role of becoming friends with the one who would become the leader. There was a further posit, and that was that there was also a contention between the leader and the spiritual advisor, as to which one would assume control of the group.
The group in the other class settled out the ranking in about two days. The group I was in fought nearly the whole time period allotted, which may have been eight or ten classes sessions more or less.
