Came across this wonderful quote in Michael Freeman's book:
"If you, unknowing, are able to create masterpieces in color, then unkowledge is your way. But if you are unable to create masterpieces in color out of your unknowledge, then you ought to look for knowledge" - by Johannes Itten, who taught arts at Bauhaus in 1920s.
I agree with Michael Freeman that a good knowledge of the principles of design is helpful to photographers and is often overlooked. Should it be taught to BA students studying Photography? I would certainly find it useful.
