Artists, our profession is under siege.
I can no longer encourage new artists to persue a career in arts.
As a hobbie? Go for it! It's fantastic to create worlds!
As a job? It's increasingly clear that a growing amount of companies no longer see value in human made work.

🎨Your artcourse is bad when:
- You mostly just get assignments rather than theory.
- Getting feedback is a public display of the teacher pointing out what you’ve done bad, without giving constructive input on how to approach it better.
