By playing with gradient and checker textures, I'm sure you could come 
up with a decent canvas texture in less than half an hour.

If you are talking about the technical ability to perform a task? yes. 
Many schools, do teach those.

However, if you are talking about the artistic ability to come up with a 
concept, then this is a little more difficult to teach.  But in order to 
be able to do it, you must first rid your mind of all those negative 
preconcptions.  Let the creative energy flow through you.  If it ends up 
looking like crap, then throw it away, but don't hold yourself from 
trying because "It's going to look like crap!".

Geez, I really sound like Yoda!
