>using your brain without automatically feeling pretentious

Are you kidding me? Modern art is little more than condensed pretension as the dubious detritus you spew immediately after this sentence in your call for "meaningful artistic discussion" and your prior demand that people respect the various "movements" of art by always making sure to use "muh proper art pronouns" like a pedantic faggut basically confirms. Nothing but fucking talk. Get back 2 bed gaylord Hundertwasser is wait.

The composition of OP's picture is fucking retarded, but it was retarded 'on purpose' which makes it good in abstract circles. Don't make me fucking laugh. There are some very aesthetic abstract pieces out there (primarily by artists that had a realist background), but the whole genre has been done to death and anyone that spends any amount of time grasping at straws to find some esoteric 'meaning' buried in this stuff should be committed to a mental institution.

>maybe if I post cute pictures of cats /ic/ will ignore the complete destruction of western artistic tradition and the shysters and mentally ill sycophants that facilitated it.

Nah, fug you're self op lol

>Wao, once a week? Sheridan and Seneca has live models EVERY DAY

You can take more than one class at once at an atelier you know~. The reason they can't do everything every day however is because an atelier is usually a small studio with few rooms, whereas a formal college is a large campus where the wealth of thousands of people is constantly being siphoned off at once. I should certainly hope they can have spare "two life drawing rooms" and "2 rooms for illustration" in their several hundred acre campus.

Ateliers are more "go at your own pace", and they are much, much cheaper, even if you take several classes a week.

Anyway, the message of this thread isn't necessarily that art school is ALWAYS bad and should be hated (though I'm given the impression that ones that shouldn't be are the exception rather than the rule), but that there are a lot of greasy degenerate art schools out there and that it can be hard to tell that everyone's living in their own little non-representational retard-world until you're balls deep in the curriculum as some anecdotes of past and present students on this very board can attest.

I think a good rule of thumb is that if a school doesn't reject applicants regularly for having weak portfolios then it is not a school worth attending. Period. Too many naive parents with naive children being taken for everything they've fucking got by these disgusting pieces of trash at these universities.

>abstract is 2DEEP4U, and all people who draw abstract just do so because they can't draw.

That's true nearly 100% of the time though. Abstract is the domain of mentally ill degenerates.

Wow!
Degenerate, dysgenic retards make ugly retarded art. What a revelation!
