as someone who went to a specialty art high school, this is so cool of you to talk about, because it really is hard for people to understand how much art takes over someone’s life
This video and comment is saving my life rn :") idk how similar what ur talking abt is to what I'm trying to get into but its rly nice to have a double confirmation that everything is decently fine w out school being every part of my life 😭so yea ty :)
more than engineering? I'm studying biotechnology engineering and I don't feel like I'm really passionate about it. I'm thinking about switching to art, but is it just as difficult and stressful?
"Yeah, I pulled an all nighter, I haven't actually slept in like, 24 hours" "Wow, that sounds really tough. You should try to take better care of yourself"
I am a big believer in all of these, the last one especially. It's getting easier and easier to post your art online. You don't need to be a content creator or be known as an online figure, but the ability for someone to see what you do and keep up with you is massive.
The thing with sleep is true. A lot of students are sleep deprivated, because teachers want a lot of stuff done, but you can manage that, just don't forget your sleep is SO important, because your brain will hurt at school when you'll be tired too much. You can do it, sending love 🤲🏼
@@lowkeyayokai Well, I don't know exactly how the original commenter "screwed" their relationship with their classmates, and I'm not an expert on the matter but I'll try to give some insights First, I think that trying to be open with people is really important. Even if you're socially anxious like me, when you're at school you HAVE to at least answer people when they talk to you, and smile if possible. You don't need to start conversations, just be nice if they do. A very easy thing to do is to wave a little to someone you cross path with if you have already been introduced (no need to talk, just aknowledge their presence). Also, always be honest! It's fine if you don't want to go with them to a party or something, they shouldn't like you less because of it (and if they do, they are not worth it). Just say that you really dislike this type of event and wouldn't enjoy yourself there (but thanks for the invite!). They will feel respected because you told them the truth, and it won't affect badly your relationship. Lastly, since we are talking about work, you have to be reliable, and do the part of your work. You gotta be ready to make compromises.
I think the first and second rule should be generally applied to every course. No matter how competitive the course is, _chill out._ No matter how alone you feel, again, _chill out._ I myself have noticed even during highschool that a lot of people don't have anyone else to hang around with. I do encourage people to find people you can talk to, but you don't have to be friends immediately, acquaintances is just fine. The friend part will take time so don't stress over finding friends - This is actually how I found my own friends who've been nothing but acquaintances the past years.
I went to school for fashion design and then lowkey decided against it because i realized i would be probably working alongside my classmates and people like them and i just… couldn’t be bothered to deal with that level of pettiness/cattiness/vanity on the daily 🤷🏻♀️
Also: DONT. PROCRASTINATE. Don’t do it. Even if it’s do a month from now. Bc come finals you will be way too overwhelmed to get it all done bc you “had all month” to do five different things, and in art, assignments will take time. Time that you won’t have. So don’t even think about it
When she said the Animation Industry is TINY. I was like yessss finally someone said it! It can look huge on social media but I promise you I had a rude awakening seeing how tiny it is when I went and got my Animation course
As someone who is 36 and has had time to learn some life lessons, yeah school is very important, and getting good grades is important, but what is more important is learning what you are capable of and learning your limits. Learning your strengths and your boundaries. What good are you going to be if you graduate with a degree but are mentally completely unstable and unable to keep a job? Or you pushed yourself to do good in a field that didn’t come naturally to you and now you’re stuck there for your entire career. University is an incredible experience. But the education is only one part of it. The other parts are learning to live independently, learning to self regulate and discipline yourself and set limits. It’s about your interpersonal relationships and how well you work and live with others. It’s about letting yourself be yourself but also learning that not everyone is nice or supportive or safe or has good motives but also that there are amazing people and finding friendships and work relationships that will last lifetimes. Don’t ruin your own college experience. I went back again as an older adult because I didn’t fully understand myself for my first degree and I did 10000x better educationally the second time but I didn’t socialize or live on campus. Also, don’t waste your time, money or anyone else’s if college isn’t for you. It might disappoint someone but you’re old enough to go out on your own. It would hurt them and you much more if you denied them and yourself the truth for 4+ years. Learning to be honest and accept disappointment and discomfort from the reactions of other people is a tough adult life lesson but will serve you well. And last of all, you’ll be ok, I promise. Everything will be ok. It might not seem like it now. There were times I was so upset I thought my life would be over or I wanted it to be. Looking back I can see that most of it was because of how I reacted or internalized things and that’s ok. I’m a stranger on the internet but I promise you that it will turn out ok because it has to. It might not be today or tomorrow but you will be ok. ❤
Unless you plan on teaching some aspect of art (and you need an education degree for that one as well), _DON'T_ waste your precious time and money! Just about everything you would need (Including the puke inducing art history prerequisites which _ALWAYS_ took up at least your first year, regardless of what art career you pursued) can be gotten via the internet for either a low cost or absolutely free... Tutorials, classes, all the different apps are available online, and you can study and master your skill at your own leisure! _Save your money for something else, besides spending an average of $20K to $40K a year on classes that won't give you any kind of competitive edge when all is done!_
I so agree with what you said about competition and making enemies. Personally I also believe that having a good relationship and collaborating with your peers can only help you grow and improve so there’s no reason not to!
So i recently got rejected from art school (i was born in austria but live in germany and served in their army for a while) and now Im wondering what to do. I have been holding some speeches in the mean time and peoples really seem to enjoy them. Should I chase a career as politican maybe? Please help me idk what to do
Pro tip from me: don’t believe people who say that you can’t make big money as an artist! There are sooo many (literally countless) ways to earn money this way
I used to hear every now and then that art school can be competitive.... like bestie, when?! We're all caffine addicts who all most likely have our own mental struggles, and everyone has a fandom they hyperfixate and half of us just wanna make our dnd characters for finals. Art school isnt competitive, but the industry is. School is networking and making an impression so people can remember you in the future and wanna work with or put in a good word for you. Also: ArtStation is a good place to promote your art for future hiring teams, as ive heard from professionals that have spoken at our school
Also, not every art school is equal. If you went to some unknown design college that only teaches absolute basics of print design, then it's absolutely useless for animation / motion design industry. And if there are no good animation institutions in your country, then self-educate yourself and build a good portfolio.
art schools in my region literally don't teach anything other than how to copy vases 💀 so thankful i did my research and talked to friends and didn't apply omg and it gets even worse, i know someone who doesn't even have actual art teachers in their "art school" and just spends the time trying to figure out stuff by themselves with a cheap canvas and old ahh oil paint that feels as if it was made by ancient stone age people cause even the teacher doesn't know what to do
For REAL I don’t know where this competitiveness surfaced from and even I used to do that. Students bragging about how they got zero sleep that night for a project they could have done a week before or slowly over the given time is really toxic. I used to get nosebleeds from not properly sleeping for days on ends and think it was cool and okay. NO KIDS. Get at least 6 hours to barely function the next day or maybe… actually GO FOR A FULL 8 HOURS. Trust me, our bodies are healthy, 1 day of good rest completely resets our brains, you would actually feel way better after sleeping correctly and have your brain work better because idk… IT HAD PROPER REST. Plus sleeping irregularly actually gains you some weight, mainly because our bodies function on a schedule. U wale up at 8? Your body will act accordingly. But if you wake up at 5 and then the next day it is 12pm and then the other is 4am, your body won’t match up leading you to unhealthy eating, stress and horrible moods. All in all, do your work properly and SLEEP.
I was JUST crying about how I've never been accepted to any colleges I've applied to, it's been 2 years and I'm still trying I've become so upset at myself and feeling like im not good enough for anything art realated. I just feel like nobody wants what im able to producedso seeing this tday makes it feel like a nice reminder that its gonna be okay.
Something I learned while applying for schools, just from touring mostly, Sheridan is great if you wanna work for a big animation studio, if you plan to get more experimental and test the boundaries of animation a little more, then look elsewhere Sheridan is great ofc, but know what ur looking for. Also, if Sheridan is your dream school, apply to their art fundamentals 1 year program, it’s a great backup if you don’t get into a bachelor program and you get access to the professors n stuff to critique you on ur portfolio. You don’t get a guaranteed acceptance just cuz you did fundamentals at Sheridan, but you’ll get resources to help you plenty. I applied for Sheridan’s bachelor of animation program and didn’t get in, but I DID get into their fundamentals program. Decided to go to this other school that feels like a better fit for myself, but still. My Sheridan application portfolio was scored 55/100 and they still accepted me for art fundamentals. You literally don’t need to submit a portfolio for fundamentals regardless too Also fundamentals accepts like waaaay more students than any of the bachelor programs so you’ve got a higher chance of getting into it I’m peddling what a student there who did fundamentals her first year told me, I might not have all the details right lol
Animator here. Went to college in Atlanta, graduated Cum Laude, and am now on a small animation team that is made up of mostly old alumni. The best advice I can give is to treat college like a job interview. It's not about the grades or even the degree, honestly outside of school no one cares. We care if you know how to do the job and follow directions. What that means is, yes you turned in your assignment and got a passing grade, but you did it last minute and didn't exactly follow instructions. You had time to do something better or more interesting, and you know you could but who cares? There was other, more fun stuff to do. It's turned in and the grade is good. Yeah the teacher didn't see that, but your classmates did. And when they have to pick someone to be on their team when a job opens up, best believe they are going to pick the person that gave it their all and followed instructions. Like she says the industry is small. Don't be known as the person who leaves things to last minute or can't get along with others in group projects. I have had to be the one to shut people out of opportunities based on behavior in school, it didn't feel good, but I was not going to risk the project over their bad habits.
Yeah I’m just gonna say, pulling all nighters isn’t a flex. You need sleep, especially when you have school the next day. Sleep is way more important than trying to pull all nighters, only to feel inferior to someone else because they “put in more effort” by not sleeping and only studying all the time. Just go one step at a time, don’t rush yourself. Make friends, make it fun, and take care of yourself. Those are pretty important too :)
Take a business class, become buddies with business majors, intern whenever you can, start a youtube channel streaming your art. Art is a contractor/gig career. You are gonna be in debt so you might as well start laying the ground work to get yourself out of it. Finally, it does not matter where you go to school to learn art. We all end up in the same labor pool anyway and employers don't care where you went, they care what you can do.
Awwwe even tho I’m pretty sure I’m way older than you I would love to have a conversation with you. I just need a lil guidance art wise and social media wise. You seem dope and your art style is dope as well 🤙🏾
As much as I want to go to art school my parents told me I'd make more money I guess? if I combine art with another career. So I decided on art therapy and even though I'm only through my first year of high school it's always best to have some sort of plan or format to follow. (Even if u dont know what to do!) Very helpful tips thank you so much!!! ❤️🫶
No, there's all sorts of people in art schools. Honestly, there will be a crowd of people who follow one movement or the other, but you'll also find most people are just awkward artists who like to art and who aren't part of any movement like emo. I assume you don't want to be seen as emo and that's why you might not want to go?
Also: there are going to be teachers who are tough on you, sometimes for no apparent or logical reason. Don't let them discourage you. Don't let them steer you away from why you are there and take over your work. Recognize the difference from being challenged vs being bullied.
This is super helpful!! Do a lot of the things mentions more near the end of the video apply to just being in the art industry or looking for a job in it as well?
Hello!!! Can anyone give me advice or things I should know about studying art? I'm in biotechnology engineering, I used to like it a lot but I'm not really passionate about it and my anxiety and depression can't handle so much work and difficulty...... I'm thinking about art because I think I would love it, but I'm afraid of change and sometimes I feel like I don't know what I'm getting myself into, can anyone help me?
I think it depends, are you looking into art as a hobby, or a career? If as a hobby, it’s a great way to relax yourself from the harder work you’re dealing with! As a career, going to college to get a degree in art, is one of the single most damning career mistakes you can make. You have the ability to create, and learn already through the internet.
Depends on what you want to do with your art. Art school at this point is mostly for if you're looking to get into the industry. More connections and they drill speed and efficiency into you.
You don’t get connections in the industry from watching TH-cam videos tho. College is great for meeting people. I don’t think I have a better chance of meeting animators in the fuckin army any more than I would on the street, my guy (Also for anyone from the US who is worried about tuition, art school is MUCH cheaper in Canada even if you’re an international student, always check there too)
@jaqdawks sorry the army part was a transitive property joke and of course you dont get connections from watching YT thats why i said SOCIAL MEDIA (maybe dont skim read if you're going to comment back?🫠) ; and also not a guy but considering how the TP joke went over your head; your ignorance is understandable. 😉
PLEASE HELP how do I get onto art school as a toung adult starting eith NO PORTFOLIO and NO EXPERIENCE and NO SAMPLE work..there MUST NE a way dammit..why dont any stupid schools have a more remedial or elementary option
hey! Regardless you will need a portfolio, but you don't need to go to school to create one. There are plenty of sources online on what schools look for in portfolios (including the specific schools websites) so look for tutorials on the things they want included. Still lifes, anatomy, portraits, perspective work, etc are often liked depending on what you are going for. It's a lot of work but it definitely is possible, keep going!
You don’t. You just post it as a WIP or finished project and hope for the best. Your journey as an artist is gonna last your entire life if you keep at it, so there’s no better time than now to share it.
Got accepted into a pretty good arts college before loan got denied 🥲 still working hard years later "self-taught" and artists like you help me a ton ♡

Sleep is way more important than trying to pull all nighters, only to feel inferior to someone else because they “put in more effort” by not sleeping and only studying all the time. Just go one step at a time, don’t rush yourself. Make friends, make it fun, and take care of yourself. Those are pretty important too :)
Take a business class, become buddies with business majors, intern whenever you can, start a youtube channel streaming your art. Art is a contractor/gig career. You are gonna be in debt so you might as well start laying the ground work to get yourself out of it. Finally, it does not matter where you go to school to learn art. We all end up in the same labor pool anyway and employers don't care where you went, they care what you can do.
Also people need to realise how privileged they are to even be able to attend such schools, cherish that, because majority of the world can't do that.
I wish I would've known that I would've failed it 😢
Awwwe even tho I’m pretty sure I’m way older than you I would love to have a conversation with you. I just need a lil guidance art wise and social media wise. You seem dope and your art style is dope as well 🤙🏾
As much as I want to go to art school my parents told me I'd make more money I guess? if I combine art with another career. So I decided on art therapy and even though I'm only through my first year of high school it's always best to have some sort of plan or format to follow. (Even if u dont know what to do!) Very helpful tips thank you so much!!! ❤️🫶
Imposter Syndrome.💀 Be kind with everyone.💀👌

DIRTY HARRY EEEEEEE
I just got into art high school, I’m looking forward to it
Oh noo. I have so many art school enemies
Im glad i saw this because just yesterday i decided that i should go to art school
I want to go to art school, but ny fruend told me that there are only emos in art schools. Is that true?
No, there's all sorts of people in art schools. Honestly, there will be a crowd of people who follow one movement or the other, but you'll also find most people are just awkward artists who like to art and who aren't part of any movement like emo.
I assume you don't want to be seen as emo and that's why you might not want to go?
nothing wrong with emos
What if you fail in Austria
Hum I think I'm gonna get into politics instead!
Please don’t! I’m begging you. Don’t go into politics! 💀
Noice music 👍
ngl here twerking to dirty harry
Also: there are going to be teachers who are tough on you, sometimes for no apparent or logical reason. Don't let them discourage you. Don't let them steer you away from why you are there and take over your work. Recognize the difference from being challenged vs being bullied.

I burnt out pulling back to back allnighters every week for four months, and that had brutal consequences for me

Is it possible to have imposter syndrome about having imposter syndrome 😅
yt only recommended me this because of gorillaz in the background.
Posting your art online is peepeepoopoo advice but I agree with everything else
I have an art account but I hide it from my friends and family xD should I make it known?
Don't go to art school.
We all know what happens when you don't 💀
We all know what happens when you don't 💀
Hows the art school prices considering how competitive it is
wait but where do we even put the art on linkedin
This is super helpful!! Do a lot of the things mentions more near the end of the video apply to just being in the art industry or looking for a job in it as well?
I'm just not sure if it's a good idea to go into art school as a self taught artist and I feel like doing art as a career will ruin art for me
Certain guy should've watched this

“don’t make enemies” OOPS
i don’t have a 3.0 gpa and my art is bad i can’t get into any art colleges and even if i could i have no money for it i feel hopeless
All real education is self-education. TH-cam is your university. Free.
Hello!!! Can anyone give me advice or things I should know about studying art? I'm in biotechnology engineering, I used to like it a lot but I'm not really passionate about it and my anxiety and depression can't handle so much work and difficulty...... I'm thinking about art because I think I would love it, but I'm afraid of change and sometimes I feel like I don't know what I'm getting myself into, can anyone help me?
I think it depends, are you looking into art as a hobby, or a career?
If as a hobby, it’s a great way to relax yourself from the harder work you’re dealing with!
As a career, going to college to get a degree in art, is one of the single most damning career mistakes you can make. You have the ability to create, and learn already through the internet.
We all know what happened when adolf got rejected😂
i don't got no imposter syndrome fam
Yes get sleep. 💤 😴
How much art do u actually do in art school? vs normal schooling (math, science etc)
DIRTY HARRY
Thanks for the tip
Thank you :).
Thank you 💖
Hi!!
#5. You're paying 250k for stuff you can learn on TH-cam.
Depends on what you want to do with your art. Art school at this point is mostly for if you're looking to get into the industry. More connections and they drill speed and efficiency into you.
@@goddammithoward in today's world i think you can do both more effectively via social media and or the armed forces lol at least in the usa...
@conradaster3764 lol yeah but industry pros generally wanna see that college resume yk
You don’t get connections in the industry from watching TH-cam videos tho. College is great for meeting people. I don’t think I have a better chance of meeting animators in the fuckin army any more than I would on the street, my guy
(Also for anyone from the US who is worried about tuition, art school is MUCH cheaper in Canada even if you’re an international student, always check there too)
@jaqdawks sorry the army part was a transitive property joke and of course you dont get connections from watching YT thats why i said SOCIAL MEDIA (maybe dont skim read if you're going to comment back?🫠) ; and also not a guy but considering how the TP joke went over your head; your ignorance is understandable. 😉

PLEASE HELP how do I get onto art school as a toung adult starting eith NO PORTFOLIO and NO EXPERIENCE and NO SAMPLE work..there MUST NE a way dammit..why dont any stupid schools have a more remedial or elementary option
hey! Regardless you will need a portfolio, but you don't need to go to school to create one. There are plenty of sources online on what schools look for in portfolios (including the specific schools websites) so look for tutorials on the things they want included. Still lifes, anatomy, portraits, perspective work, etc are often liked depending on what you are going for. It's a lot of work but it definitely is possible, keep going!
How do you tell when your art is good enough to post?
You don’t. You just post it as a WIP or finished project and hope for the best.
Your journey as an artist is gonna last your entire life if you keep at it, so there’s no better time than now to share it.
When you dont have the urge to kill an entire religion because of art school. Then it's good enough

Got accepted into a pretty good arts college before loan got denied 🥲 still working hard years later "self-taught" and artists like you help me a ton ♡
