i know a couple things about the type of coarse you are persueing, one being that in the industry concept artists are invaluble and that there are two types of them, artist, and arteest (or so it sounds like) arteest's have their own unique styles and cannot get away from them, artists are formidable to project requirements. artists are more likely to find a job in the industry.

As for an online place to take art classes of this nature i don't know where to point you, i'm at brown college in minnesota. but we go through concept design 3d modeling, programming, engine adaptation, engine foundations. All in all if you want to do it you actively persue it. Good luck and hope this post provided some insight to you.

What is the reason for you wanting a degree for concept art?

in fact the main reason is learning to enter this career. because i want to take it professionally so i want to study. i do not know if i can take it professionally without study in a college. but if so can i know how? can you show me the way? and does the studios hire people if they do not have a degree? can you give me examples?

thanks for co-operation :)

There are many, many concept artists working today that did not go to school to learn how to draw, paint, and design. It's really more about your personality. Some people don't do well in school but kick ass when learning on their own with instructional DVD's, books, online tutorials...etc. Some people must be in a classroom situation to learn something and would be lost on their own. It's possible to be a concept artist in the entertaiment industry without getting a degree in concept art, but if you want to do industrial design then you probably should go to school since that's a more specialized field than entertainment.
