Latest 2D character assignment demanded a character rig. πβ¨ I've been replaying DAO, so... Umm... Disney Channel's Grey Warden?? π (Drawing substitution has expanded her emotional range to 30 versions of this: π.) #dragonage@bioware#bioware@BioMarkDarrah
@ruthtaka I can, and I donβt know why it has to be an argument. Itβs all opinion! SCAD isnβt for everyone. All three of my sisters and I are attending together and weβve recieved a lot of financial aid to be where we are. I feel blessed to be able to go to SCAD.
@ruthtaka Iβm doing my best? I started in 2017, and I swear I would not be at this school if it werenβt accredited! (Itβs one of the only art schools that is.) This is my choice and I chose to accept debt for immediate art school after high school. I knew what I was getting myself into. π€·ββοΈ
@ruthtaka@gsu SCAD is accredited by the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. And I canβt take animation classes at GSU. Also, less than half of us at SCAD are Georgia citizens. Itβs a horrible BUSINESS, not a horrible school. π
The whole SCAD email was shitty, and Paula Wallace has been awful to us during quarantine. NO SHIT. ππβ¨ But yβall non-SCAD-students also need to stop talking about SCAD like you know SCAD. Itβs not a bad school, itβs a GREAT SCHOOL. Just the worst administration ever. π #SCAD
@dzdeeznutz @neo_mirai I have a LOOTTTT of financial aid so Iβm not paying $200K, but for me the experience and education has been worth it. It all just depends on the student!!
@ProjectAlpha22 Yay! Thanks for that! I agree!! And weβve gotten so many of these emails from them that Iβve started to just delete them before I even read them. ππ Itβs shitty!! Iβm SO glad that SCADβs getting publicity now, even if itβs bad, because up until recently we all felt so unheard!
@mdragonflame@neo_mirai RIGHT!! OOOH Iβm tired of it. π Everyoneβs different, so itβs about taking your own learning style into consideration. I was also a huge introvert before SCAD and working on short films with others has forced me to come out of my shell and communicate more with others. πββοΈπ«
@emily_clasen Iβm a triplet and all 3 of my sisters and I are attending SCAD at the same time. π Itβs still out of our price range, but we have help from SCAD. To ME itβs worth it, because I can SEE myself evolving as an artist. Once you get through that first year, itβs an uphill climb. π₯Ί
@adamakaufman Yep she clearly runs a multi-million-dollar business, not a school. π (She already took our Paula Wallace meme page away from us. I have nothing left to offer her.)
@starsockss @neo_mirai Agreed!! Going into a collaborative career, Iβve really benefitted from working on films with other students and having that schedule and talking with professors in the industry. β¨ But right, it depends on what kind of person you are! Itβs not like SCAD is a hell hole though. π
@neo_mirai Iβm an animation junior and I literally JUST finished up my senior film pitch for next year. Iβm stoked on how far Iβve come and I think if you have the drive and you want to go into an artistic career, SCAD is a good choice. People on Twitter just π complaining. π
@neo_mirai Not at all! I couldnβt learn half of what Iβm doing alone. The biggest problems Iβve faced have only just arisen with the COVID-19 response. On site, I would only have little problems like with housing and registrationβbut nothing ever made me not want to be at SCAD anymore. π’β¨
@mrcollinscott Right!! Like, Iβm here for animation. Not the business or the finances or the housing or loans or SHITTY EMAILS, or anything. Thatβs what we suffer through to get the education we felt we couldnβt get at a normal school. π‘π₯ And we work hard!!
@iamnotkenzii Right, like Iβve grown so much as an artist from professors at SCAD. ππ₯Ί We suffer under the administration, not the professors. (With a few professor exceptions lol.)
Last thing about SCAD, okay: the people who have never been to SCAD that saw SCAD blowing up on Twitter and said βI almost went to SCADβ and now they hate SCAD and are SCAD experts all of a sudden. I love them. π₯³β¨ #SCAD Hate on the BUSINESS. Not the art, profs, and students. π
@WindTitty Oml SCAD sent out this awful guilt-tripping email to everyone. π They donβt want us to take a quarter off bc theyβll lose money but they were like βyouβre bad students and you wonβt graduate if you take time off.β π But now all of SCAD is getting shit on, not just the admins.
