LOL "Litteracy". Irony, much? ;-)

I still think it's dubious that one should be able to get a 
_qualification_ in something which is highly subjective. I mean, sure, 
*everything* has some level of subjectiveness in it. But having a 
qualification in "being able to draw really pretty pictures" is far too 
vague; beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Qualifications need to be 
based on something more objective. (And, indeed, art degrees are usually 
based mostly on technical skill rather than artistic merit.)
