Hello! I am a high school student who is looking to be a background artist for animation in the future ( i know this is a cg forum but i cant really find any other active artist forums at the moment) . I cannot afford to go to an art school sadly, and i need to stay in state for my college . I was wondering if the ATEC program at UTD was a decent program to get into? And are there any other good texas college art programs out there? ( I know about A&m’s Viz program but i dont know if i will be able to apply on time sadly) Thank you all!~
UT Dallas ATEC Program
We did some work for UTD recently and did a tour of their ATEC department and it’s very good and I wish something like that was around when I went to school.
Just know that for the best success you need to do a lot of work on your own, the classes aren’t long enough to teach you everything and a lot of it comes from practice.
