I'm severely depressed that I will never attend the Imperial Academy of Arts in St. Petersburg Russia. It's literally the best art school in the world and their teachings have been preserved for the past couple of centuries.

Like how your local 24 hour fitness is considered to be guy heaven this place would be artguy heaven. It's that good.

Unironically for those of us who know Russian is it worth going to try to study art there? It's probably much cheaper to live there than in New York or L.A. They would probably teach you fundies by shoving a soldering iron up your ass... though is that even a bad thing?

uhhh depend on where you live. if you live in a shithole country then i guess so, if youre an amerimutt then probably not. (good) russian art schools are demanding in terms of how much shit do you have to draw, but then again, that is true for good art schools anywhere.

I'm an amerimutt and I seen shit like RISD and I wouldn't want to study there if they fucking payed ME. I'm like 3rd gen Ukrainian so I can speak broken ass elementary school level Russian but if I applied myself I could probably get conversational in a few months. Is there any American alternative to the school OP mentions? Are there any real US schools that teach old master style? Other than like Proko, maybe Vilppu, but those aren't the same in-person type instruction you would be getting in a real school.

dude, if you want to make it in the digital art world (concept art, illustration, animation etc) it's not worth it at all. All you'll be doing in the academy is drawing boring-ass realistic shit 24/7 curated by old fatasses, and you'll probably burn out. I know a girl who got in there, her art is insanely fucking boring, I believe you people can do better. Пoвepь, я знaю o чём гoвopю

did you go to art school youself? I haven't, but i know several girls who went to art colleges in Moscow/Rostov, and their art is actually great. The burnout is real tho, some people who get in these colleges actually quit art because of it, пиздeц.

nope, I don't have an art education. From what I know art colleges are good, they actually teach you needed fundamentals and basics, but honestly you can do that yourself through grinding books. The only good uni I know that actually teaches digital stuff is High school of Economics in Moscow, but rather than drochit' EГЭ and literature bullshit to enroll I'd just draw more

There are tons of ateliers in the U.S. that teach a rigorous program of drawing accurately from observation. It is mostly based on the 19th century French academic tradition, rather than the methods of the Italian Renaissance masters, which are not as well known or understood.
This site has a list of schools:
https://artrenewal.org/Atelier/Search
Although I can't speak to its precise criteria, the site's founder is a big collector and booster of Bouguereau, and promotes figurative art in the academic tradition.
Atelier programs are usually MUCH cheaper than going to a university, and the instruction is more narrowly focused and of a higher quality when it comes to that narrow purpose.
If you want, and can afford, to attend a university, Lyme Academy of Fine Arts in Connecticut, and New York Academy of Art (MFA program) are both well regarded, and most of the teachers at these schools come from atelier programs.
Just be forewarned, learning to draw accurately from observation doesn't teach you how to be creative, how to stylize or draw from imagination. Those aspects of art generally aren't emphasized in these programs, and a lot of the students end up getting comfortable with their academic figure and still life studies (largely indistinguishable from one artist to another) and find it too much of an ego shock when they attempt, and fail, to step outside of that comfort zone.

Uhh, Art Renewal doesn’t teach anything. They accredit schools/teaching programs.
