>i have never visited an art school that didn't show off that life drawing was on the curriculum as a selling point.

How many art schools do you be visiting nigga?

Also, maybe that's because you were smart enough to actually look at the art school's student work before bothering to show up to the potato schools?

Many people are not. If you just decide to go to your local "art school" 9 times out of 10 it's going to be "contemporary", "conceptual" art instruction despite their not having any commercial (or let's be real, artistic) value whatsoever.

>lol anon, that's a contemporary -fine art- degree

No shit dude, your assertion in that exact post was that for some reason the anecdote from the Animator's Survival Kit about this exact school, the Slade, which was called out by name-and other schools like it which have supplanted practical realism with...whatever the hell shit like pic related is...was somehow no longer relevant because he said it longer ago than you would have liked.

With regards to even ostensibly GOOD art schools though, I'm not personally willing to take an 80 thousand dollar bet that most people seem to lose when the degree itself is, according to what imperfect statistics we have available, of dubious value to begin with. If you are, that's fine.

1. Most art schools suck major balls and should be avoided at all costs

2. Do not go to any art school right out of high school

3. Do not go to any art school that doesn't have stringent entrance requirements

4. School is an option, not a guarantee

5. It's proven you do not need a degree to make a livable amount of money making art, even at the highest levels

That's all I'm saying.
