Can you get an education in art for free?

Like most artists around here, I’ve got a bunch of links stored up from my travels around the Internet. Art tutorials of every shape and size, telling me everything from how to compose color to how to wrap brushes so they stay nice. This is truly a wonderful time to be an artist.

A while ago, I posed a question to myself: Just how much art education could person get strictly from online resources? Looking at the links I have collected, and knowing that there is a vast number of them that I have yet to find, I’m beginning to wonder if a person could get a “complete” art education just by learning online.
