Yep. I don't think doing an 'art review' is going to turn many amateur painters into a picasso.

Code reviews also suck up time of your most senior people. Personally, I'd rather just have some fucking TESTERS. (manual or automatic script writers).

You'd be surprised. A crucial part of learning to be an artist is open critiques. It is the one moment when lovey-dovey artists suddenly turn into the same kind of nitpicky curmudgeons as us coders.

Where do you think great artists come from?

As a professional developer who started college in an art major, I can verify this from personal experience.

It's funny, the similarities between a critique and a team code-review didn't occur to me until penguindev's comment. But they really are a lot alike.
