not really...

remember when there was the talent show at the school and you wanted to do film making?

the teacher said u couldn't because film making isn't an actual art

there fore, it is not

who said the teacher is right. Teachers aren't think outta the box kinda people. Watch a professional beautiful short film. Its for sure an art. Speak to any other film artist and they will tell you that it is for sure an art.

Don't listen to teachers on any other topic besides basic knowledge they know no less then other people.
