I’m teetering on the point of being afraid of going to my doctors appointments again, which isn’t exactly ideal when you need to go to said appointments to maintain human functioning.
This is also why a lot of us have been deeply disappointed and felt betrayed when watching our friends going to indoor events that allowed any kind of unmasking, be it for eating/drinking/or distanced photography.
I understand people want to feel a semblance of normality.

But also understand that engaging in large events results in your more vulnerable friends having to sacrifice things required to literally function. Consequences faced from a lack of treatment aren’t always reversible.
I’m obviously biased, but I think the more vulnerable among us being able to maintain our ability to function, matters more than others having fun at big indoor events.
(Not to mention the safety of children under 12 who aren’t yet eligible for the vaccine)

Re: degrees: as an AD, I have literally never once checked if someone had a degree (let alone checked where they went to school) before hiring or recommending them.

What I will check: your portfolio.
Did I learn a lot going to art school? Yes, absolutely. Did I actively enjoy going to school? Yes! And I’ve taken lots of additional courses since graduating.

I do thing that in person art courses are really valuable—you will learn a lot. But you can ABSOLUTELY teach yourself.
There are so many resources online today (I’ll list some at the end of the thread), and I will fucking fight anyone that says someone can’t be TRULY great without a formal 4 year education.

One of the artists I most admire (hi @jasonshawnalex!!) is COMPLETELY self taught.
