Re: Art Institute is it good or bad?
I started going to the Art Institute in 2012 with the intention of becoming an Environment Artist. I only stayed there for a year and a half and I'm 50,000 in debt. That's with scholarships. I didn't make any connections there, and after watching a few tutorials, found myself knowing more than my professors did. I began to… -

You're better off getting a ton of gnomon tutorial videos; learn more; save a lot lot lot of money. -

Go get tutorials and check out polycount, you'll save yourself a ton. If you are itching for college, be smart about it and go to community college first, then a uni second. Do enough research before hand, learn from other's mistakes and save yourself a massive headache dude. -

Colleges are just there for them to give you the paper that says you have a degree. It's your responsibility to improve as an artist, so my advice is don't just depend on the school on everything that you will learn, you have to be resourceful. There are tons of tutorials online. Check these out: digitaltutors.com… -
Re: Art Institute is it good or bad?
I agree with this statement. There are good professors at each and every school but the school itself is a mess. It also comes down to the individual (i.e. You), if you sleepwalk through your classes you will be given a rude awakening once you try and look for a job. In my experience at the (Art Institutes campus in Santa… -
Re: Art Institute is it good or bad?
^^ All of that is truth. So for those of us that did attend an AI, would it be better to leave that off the resume all together since it's looked down upon for the most part? Or just rephrase it to something like, "I gotz my BFA in Artz & Shit"? I really dont want that to catch anyone's eye for the wrong reason. It really… -
Re: Art Institute is it good or bad?
I think the appeal of college, (and I would say it is warranted) is that for a lot of people it is EXTREMELY difficult to motivate yourself at home, by yourself with little technology in terms of good computing equipment. The Art Institutes for me was a place I spent all my time in the computer labs. I met other really… -
Re: Art Institute is it good or bad?
I went to an Ai in Illinois. I would not recommend going to one of those schools. I think you should take the advice of some others here, and buy a subscription to Gnomon, Eat 3d, Digital tutors, ctrlpaint, etc. and get yourself practicing things important to your career goal on a daily basis. If you have the drive and… -
Re: Art Institute is it good or bad?
In my opinion, some of the most important and difficult things to learn for doing game art are the more fine art types of skills. The technical aspects can be learned in a comparatively short period of time. I went to art school for a BFA originally, and then years later went to the Art Institute for a year to learn the… -
Re: Art Institute is it good or bad?
I've just recently started my first year at The Art Institute of Austin. After reading over so many of these comments, I am so worried about my choice of schools. With that being said, I have raw talent, I am driven, and I now have a full list of great resources to teach myself things that I may not learn at AI-Aus, thanks…
