Degrees related to art

Well for one, stop being a fucking retard. I swear every fucking person who goes to a UC or state is a fucking dumb ass when it comes to learning.
>Oh it's all about the degree
What the fuck did you eat during your childhood? Did someone brainwash you? Jesus fucking Christ.

If there's one thing that's for fucking sure, it's that with this mind set, you won't make it in art anyways because the degree is complete bullshit that won't do anything for you except tell what happened during your 4 years.

It won't get you a job, what gets you a job, is what kind of work you put in during the program.

But seeing as you've gotten this far without knowing that. You're a fucking retard anyways.

I fucking hate you people.

Go for architecture if you want. The fucking fine art department is the fucking department that teaches art unless you want to do design in which case, there are other programs.

degrees matter tho. There are plenty of places that wont even look at your resume if you don't have a degree in a related field. What mindset are you bitching about? I want to pursue art in a practical way, what's so bad about that? Where did I say I didn't want to put in work? And I just told you that the fine art department is shit. They don't teach normal art there, half of it is gluing sticks to a wall and calling it art and the other half is weird performance art. I can already draw better than most of the teachers so there's not much I'm gonna learn there.

You just seem like an angry asshole who is projecting all this dumb bullshit on me. I was just looking for simple advice yet you decided to sperg out on me and assume a bunch of nonsense. Get help you incompetent unstable fuck.

Anon...there is "art" and then there is art. The schools or courses you should be looking (in the USA) for are those that teach design principles for the animation/games industry and not artsy fartsy classes, because those are scams and a waste of your time.

To name a few:
New Masters Academy 29$/month
Schoolism 144$/ year
Gnomon 59$/month
SVS learn 15$/month
Foundation Mentorship 150-200$
Scott Eaton Courses 500$
Watts Atelier Online
CGMA 2D
Gumroad tutorials
Concept cookie
Cubebush
FDZ School of Design

A degree is useless in this field. You don't need to pay exorbitant amount of $$$ for fundamentals, either. If you want to major in something just pick something that you can fall back on or something that will pay the bills.

i did a fine arts degree at a state school, most people were really untrained in fundamentals, the teachers didn't stress them at all and gave people way too much freedom. the kids there tried to pass off mistakes or lack of direction as "muh style" and there was more circlejerking about ideas rather than actually implementing the ideas. basically nobody worked hard and just smoke and drank all the time lol.

also, just because people fall flat with what they are making in school though doesn't mean you should completely dismiss fine art, and this goes to any other person especially on this board, who only thinks fundamentals = good art. literally you're no different than a le redditor upvoting things like "ultra realistic pencil drawing of an eye" saying its the pinnacle of human artistic achievement. you can have the most beautifully rendered drawing in the world but if it doesn't have an idea or isn't saying anything it's probably shit. if you dismiss the field of fine art completely because there's a couple of projects that seem ridiculous, it's pretty closed minded desu. being informed on what people are making for galleries and art history definitely enriches what you make.

however, for your purposes, i'd definitely go for any sort of design related degree like graphic design or product/industrial design if they have it, architecture seems like it would be good too because it teaches you how to make something to have a purpose. i personally would have loved to do an animation degree rather than a fine art degree but it certainly was an experience for me, actually very educational

Any ideas? I was gonna do engineering initially but I have no passion for it and from what I've heard, it eats up all of your time so I wouldn't be able to draw as much as I want.

I wasn't dismissing the entire field of fine art, that'd be retarded. I was saying that my schools fine art department looks like shit since all the work I've seen from teachers has been very unimpressive. I don't mind non-traditional art at all and I don't think lowly of the fine art field.

And yeah, I was looking into Industrial Design but it looks like there's very few jobs out there for it and I've heard the same about graphic design. That's why I was mostly looking at architecture since it has a design element and also there's a decent amount of jobs out there. From what I've heard tho, being an architect is living hell since the pay is shit and the hours are the worst out of almost any profession.

Any architects here who could talk about what it's like?
