I Quit Art College! (It's a Good Thing)

Yep, I just got my friends' contact info from school, because I won't be seeing them there anymore! I actually feel really liberated. I hate everyone's mindset there, both students and teachers, with the exception of a few golden individuals. They don't care about art (despite it being the ART Institute (worst school ever)) they just care about money, and how their drawing "skills" could earn it. No one cares about your drawings there because they just assume you're doing an assignment, instead of exercising creativity for fun.

None of the art teachers really knew how to draw, only the Life Drawing teacher did. The most "highly regarded" animation teacher there gets absolutely SHOWERED with praise from the students for how he draws, but it's just a bootleg Disney style with big-assed females. It's sad, because the people there who were actually creative felt really lost, myself included until recently. The curriculum offered very little aid in developing drawing skills. I had to take Editing Techniques (a film class), Camera Techniques (A FILM CLASS), and I was in Animation! What a waste of time and money.

Maybe this is why cartoons are getting worse and worse (some are ok). Creative students have no place in modern art schools, but the ones who suck at drawing and follow the rules do, so they graduate and continue to POISON cartoon channels with their half-baked art and animation. 

I feel really bad that I haven't made much progress with rosetintedjasmine on our comic because of school, but now that I dropped out, I'll have much more time to put towards it!
