My art school is NMA so it's good but I think I've set a hell of a schedule for myself and am starting to burn myself out. 8 hours a day 7 days a week of studying is too much, probably should take at least one day off a week to recharge.

I always heard it was cheaper because highly subsidized in Britain. I can't imagine that it's expensive in Russia either but I'm sure the top academies or universities are.

Yeah it depends on where you live. In burgerland you pay $80k+ to hang out with hipsters whose finals are absolute masterpieces like - bow ties nailed to plywood, a cross sitting in a jar of piss, and a collage of the American flag but the stars are all censored call girl titties. Doesnt matter if you want to put in actual effort, they will get higher marks than you because they are so bold and brave with their bullshit statements about their work that they made up the night before. You really get to network with the best in burgerland. Oh and the professors are either shit tier or shit tier and jealous and will tell anyone who knows how to draw to quit.

It's seriously not worth it here unless you go to a technical art school or atelier where you gain actual skills.

you're supposed to make connections there

[Anonymous No.4814331]

You don't build any connections in some literally-who college that offers hobby classes with teachers that can't draw shit. It's inexpensive for a reason and most likely a waste of your time.. Don't go there expecting to be at FZD drawing 23 hours a day just to keep up with the curriculum.
Research your teachers and contact people who graduated there.

[Anonymous No.4814787]

The Proko video on pros and cons of art school convinced me it's an absolute meme on par with wimmenz studies degrees unless you get into a top tier school and find a great instructor who personally mentors you and cares about your career (aka nepotism), so I won't be attending. I've already seen enough worthless bullshit high school art classes to know what I'm likely in for, it's just a more gassed up and expensive version of that.

Dropping out was the number 1 thing that improved my artwork the most.

Not saying to bail if you're in and having fun (get that degree if you can), but experiences and their usefulness definitely vary with art school.

If anyone here is currently in art school on their own dime, I urge you to cut your losses immediately and drop out, especially during a global pandemic. If you're cool with spending money to learn, then literally just buy online art lessons for a miniscule fraction of the cost.

I spent 6 years at an art college. I didn't go with the intention of learning to draw because I had been quite competent by the time I enrolled, the courses I took were more about design, rather than drawing (graphic design, interactive media, UI/UX design). There were some drawing classes as part of my curriculum, but the lecturers were clearly very incompetent at drawing, so I learned nothing from this.
I would say that although I learned a lot about the specific subjects I took, and there were some opportunities for making connections to get some advantage in the world of nepotism, spending 6 years at an art college was not beneficial for my drawing skills at all. During my time there I actually drew less and less, and procrastinated more and more on my studies by hanging out with the friends I met, as well as finding a gf, to the point where I just lost all interest in drawing. Social skills are only good at getting shitty customer service jobs (and nepotism), whereas if I put more time into drawing I would have been able to make money from my art by now.
To summarise; don't go to art college if you want to make a living with your art.

I get paid to go to art college so the idea of it being a waste of money doesn't work. Great friends, connections and because you are forced to come in every day and draw or create it prevents you from wageslaving and working too much to create

Pretty good - hard to adjust in terms of time management and being a social illiterate, but just from getting advice from professors and having things like figure drawing constantly in the schedule, I've been able to learn more in two years than I had in the five before it.

>Animation school in France
While it is actually expensive (nothing compared to US prices from what I see though), all of my teachers expect one dude were great teachers who knew when to say my stuff was awful when it was. They were all working in the industry as well so their teachings were genuine, except that one guy who just made us do Draw a box exercises for half the year.
Made a nice number of friends who were motivated and serious etc, I like it, thought the price might bite in the ass in a few years if I don't get good enough to get money asap

You could just learn in conjunction with your CS studies, like when you have free time for example. Art school is only worth so much, and if you want to go to learn to draw, you're better off grinding on your own time
