RMCAD cost such an unfathomable amount of money that half-off of a second degree doesn't really mean much to me.
Also half off a kinda useless degree makes it still useless.

Also the people I met at RMCAD are my closest friends, professional peers, and my wife.
The skills I learned there I still use today and they contribute to me having a stable job I love and a roof over my head and food and stuff.
So I’d say going to Art college was invaluable for me, but…

I worked at Guiry's for a bit, and one of our regulars was a RMCAD student. He told me that he was excited that they offered a second degree for half price after you finished your first one. Because, while he was in the fine arts track, he /really/ wanted to do fashion design.

The "was it worth it?" question is always hard with Art School for me because while I don't think that my degree has granted me any real advantages in the Illustration realm, my time at RMCAD shaped every single aspect of my adult life.
It is inseparable from what Ive done as a person.

Art School Discourse is happening again, so I wanna see something.
🎨 If you went to/graduated from an art school/art college/art major:
1. What was your most valuable takeaway(s) from your experience?
2. In hindsight, was it all worth it for those main takeaways?

Definitely. I've been making proper turnarounds and have attended art school before at RMCAD (had to drop out but I did learn alot in the 2 years there). I also plan to go to lightbox expo this year to meet people to get more pointers & advice. Im also saving money for a financial safety net of 10k.

I've been a working artist since graduating from RMCAD in the 2000's, ai has made my job harder and lowered my pay. My work has been stolen and used in ai databases without my permission or pay. Every person in charge of embracing ai here is a traitor to their profession, their peers. #rmcad #fuckai

I loved teaching my first term of Digital Painting for Film and Games at #rmcad. Today was the last day of the term and I finished my in-class demo painting; a master study of Raffello's portrait of Giovani de Medici
Kind of wish I had a Patron of the Arts these days.
This is my homage to the OG

If animation is one of your special interests too, I HIGHLY recommend Mindy Johnson’s book Ink and Paint. She worked for the mouse and also teaches at CalArts.
I remember requesting the book for the RMCAD library in 2019, incredulous at their lack of info on women in anim. She’s a badass

I’m watching a RMCAD vasd talk with the one and only Mindy Johnson- an expert historian of women in early animation. I ref’d her works in previous research papers.
Anyway she is the one who confirmed the rumors when she found the only photo proof of Bela working with Disney on the film. SO COOL
