>applying to art school
There's your mistake.

>>4772040
yuh mommy wants me to stop being a neet :(

>>4772042
gotta get those networking contacts and there's good teachers at the gmi place where i want to go

>>4772039
>what do
Throw that application in the garbage and instead spend the next 4 years learning the fundamentals and building a portfolio. Then reach out to art directors of companies you are interested in and ask if they have any svailable internships or mentorships. You can also reach out to professional illustrators and ask if they have any advice for a self tought artist trying to break into the industry.
Take small art jobs if you can and use that work to bolster your portfolio.

There, I just saved you $160,000.

Then get a job. That way instead of paying someone so that you can work, you can be paid for working.

Art school is a scam

Are you specifically applying for a concept art track or is this a fine arts degree? If this place is strictly fine arts, or favors it over design arts I would advise you stay away. Studying art history and all that is good and broadens your horizons but you don't want to get stuck in a four year program that's going to constantly pressure you away from doing what you want with art (and not teach you any skills related to concept art).

>>4772071
concept art track yea

>>4772047
i dont feel like an adult im gonna just keep going to school lol

>>4772039
Where are you applying? Art center?

These seem like weird questions for a concept art track. Obviously someone who wants to do concept art will be inspired by other concept artists, which in general are not dealing in "social, political, emotional, economic or meaningful context." Even if they did, academic types will sneer and say it's not there or that it's shallow, kitsch or sentimental and therefore isn't valid. You can't win with these people it's like they want to make you overthink it on purpose so that you'll give up.

>my 3 artists
I recognize Michelangelo, Sakamichan, and Hitler as the most meta defining artists to influence me. Each individuals art is nothing extraordinary, but their approach to art and consequences of their success (or failure) has molded new generations of artists.

Michelangelo’s success is a product of his story telling. He was the protean artist who established the diva behavior and set the precedent that an artists showmanship is more important than the art they create. For the Sistine chapel, he essentially created a biblical fanart comic that everyone hated because it was too cartoony and stylized, but the real art was in the drama he created about going blind and despising the popes commission which made his work everlasting. From Michelangelo I learned that my stories are more important than the quality of my art.

Sakamichan is another category defining artist. She successfully monetized fan service, but at the cost of her artwork’s soul. The twisted forms of her glossy, airbrushed pinups leave her factory line so fast that she doesn’t even count the fingers. Speed over quality control allows her to operate at an economy of scale to earn millions a year. Her biggest contribution to artists is the army of clones that she trains preying on their greed - mercenaries drawing for money. From Sakamichan I learned that capturing the economy of art is more important than the quality of my art.

Finally, Hitler has the most important influence on artists. It is his failure to make it as an artist that drives artists forward through fear. His failure is why I want to cultivate new artists and inspire others to continue creating because I fear what people will pursue without their art. From Hitler, I learned that acceptance is more important than the quality of my art.

My motivations for attending art school do not come from improving the quality of my art. I want to be surround by other artists and learn how they want to change the art meta.

>someone spent time writing this

>>4772039
LOL art center is pozzed now

>>4772182
If you're here for 1 hour/day you write more than that on a daily basis.

>>4772049
This.
I fell for the concept art meme instead of just getting a job in something unrelated to art because its easy and i can support my passion. They end up just teaching you how to be an artist and shit out soulless work for big companies like blizzard

>want to put jk rowling as an inspo because radfem but afraid of being canceled
I love trannies for making Radfems politically incorrect so much. The one thing they've ever done right.

>>4772039
Dude, just do CGMA.

It'll be cheaper in the long run, and the curriculum is based on what the industry wants. And the industry will never settle for subpar garbage, which is what most art schools put out.

Glad someone said it
