thanks everybody



pox -I've never heard anyone say taking art classes makes you a master instantly. They definitely can help if you have a good class/teacher though.
I think it really just depends on what you want to do and what it is you are trying to learn. You said you were going for graphic design... if you want to be a designer I think it is worth it. I can almost always tell who went to school (a good one) and who hasn't by looking at someone's work. Generally I'd say for any type of commercial art it's worth it, but for fine art it's debatable.
Personally I enjoy art classes and still take them and always learn things.
If there's someting more specific you wanna know I'm more than happy to answer any questions you have. I know what a big investment school can be. You can just PM me though, I doubt everyone else wants to read this shit
