The life drawing art classes Arnold Friberg took his first year of college at the Chicago Academy of Fine Arts were taught by two radically different artists: Von Schroeder and Weisenorn. The former studied in Munich and followed the German realist school of painting. He was concerned with detail and accuracy, and he stressed the need to pay attention to every detail and accuracy, and he stressed the need to pay attention to every facet of the human body. Alternating with Von Schroeder was Weisenborn, a modern artist who was seemingly unconcerned about traditional academic accuracy. The stark contrast in their teachings styles frustrated Arnold Friberg, that is, until it became apparent that an important lesson in art was being taught: there is no one right way to draw successfully. There are many different styles of art to choose from and it is important for students to understand all of them in their search of a unique approach.
