This course is what we call a Skill Track. That means, you work closely with an expert in the field who demonstrates the tools, workflows, techniques that you'll need to know to excel as an artist?
Skill Focused
Skill Tracks rely heavily on lectures and demonstrations whereas Bootcamps & Career Tracks focus primarily on you and your work.
Flexible Commitment

Live Weekly Meetings
Stay connected! Yes, we're ONLINE but you meet with your instructor every week to learn new skills.
