Americans CAN draw, despite the crux of art college. The problem is there's no studio in the country that supports traditional animation, with the exception of fan funded indie animations.

>schools also post the work of their past grads
Pic related?
(yeah I'm being cheeky but cherry-picking the top 5% of students of other schools and ignoring the masses beneath them isn't much better, is it?)
The question is what proportion of these past grads "make it" by even their own standard let alone find conventional success through a career in art? The answer-statistically-is "not many", whereas every last one of them may have spent as much as $100,000 to attend for two short years.
This is enough money to:
-attend an Atelier full-time for a decade or more
-travel across a good portion of the civilized world and visit every major art museum therein multiple times
-attend every art and comic convention in the US several times over
-put a hell of a down payment on a house (would have been enough to buy one outright at one point-tuition rates have been that bad for that long)
-start a business
-and more!
The point I'm making is not only are there alternatives right now to the formal art schools that have deliberately abused the trust and financial futures of their students, but that we need and deserve better options than those as well; one of my major life's goals is to see to it that we get one before too long. I have...a plan.
>one off courses such as figure drawing 1 or some shit, so you can try out the school without shilling out money for a full degree.
I wholeheartedly agree that one should take advantage of this if offered, as I'd said in a similar thread: >>7716545
>anyone can learn to draw. you can't make art unless you get inspiration
I agree with this, actually. It's a bit pedantic but I don't refer to myself as an artist for this reason. I'm looking forward to the day where I can say that I am without hesitation. Visual literacy is important, but not enough. That doesn't mean we let literal vampires rob us for the dubious privilege of letting us interact with eachother in person though.
