No talent required

[Rob Belics]

I'm not kidding. I just saw a commercial on television for a school that teaches you to be an artist for production companies, ad agencies, magazines, etc. My favorite line was "Don't know how to draw? Don't worry! That's not important anymore!"

 

Now, they don't explain how they get around that technicality but I'm assuming they teach you Photoshop/Illustrator/etc. Even then, who says you don't need to know how to draw?

 

They show this girl walking around a studio for all the glitz and glamour angles. "Wouldn't you like to work in a place like this?"

Funny thing about these ads is, the only people who want to attend would be ones who think they have talent. If you thought you had no talent, why would you apply?

Being able to do art IS a talent. What they are basically implying is that you don't need any experience, start from scratch.

Nope. Point blank said knowing how to draw "isn't important anymore".

Ah. Yeh, I could see there being some kind of difficulty there.... If it's not important then, why bloody teach it?! Even if it was computer based teachings, it's still a form of drawing.
