Is art school really a joke? It seems like it's not well received but sometimes I hear about anomalies like FZD. If I want to be able to produce work and make a living off of it, wouldn't it be better to train and receive the logistics from professionals through education

Is UCB a joke? No, it's just one section, but people think it is now. Art School has much more than just fine art.
with the inventing of the internet , art school became a joke.
you just have to know how to study and get critique

If you have the discipline, there's no way School, specially something like FZD is a joke. You can literally go pro 1 a year of hard work with those guys, no kidding.

Maybe if you're autistic
It's true that most of the techniques and knowledges can be found on the internet. But connections, training for work ethics, discipline and teamwork are what they're actually for

I don't know about 'murica, but that's the case of the romanian education, with the exception of the good schools which are too expensive for the common parent to afford
art school is for making connections and networking
its why alot of modern cartoons come from calarts, because calarts has alot of connections in the industry.

art school is a joke.
better take multimedia arts with photography.
photography involves studying and capturing the unique values of the subject thoroughly than copy 1:1 paintings. if possible take multimedia animation instead of arts.
try courses that will let you touch CAD and do 3D stuff and 2D stuff on an iMac + Cintiq in the classroom. This is the best way to go.
