Recently I attended a Book Arts Intensive and during the usual introductions I described myself as an online printmaking instructor.
The number one question was: How is it possible to learn ART through an online course?
If you have ever watched a YouTube video to learn how to do something, then I bet that you can learn art making through an online course as well.
The way that I teach printmaking online is:
- Break the techniques into little manageable steps
- Give you short actionable videos to get you printing a lot
- Put the instructions and videos in a private website for my students
- Send you regular emails with links and encouragement
- Invite the students to post, share and ask questions in a private Facebook Group
- Give feedback and answer questions in the Facebook Group
Why this format of learning to make prints works?
- You take the class in your own home or studio
- You fit it into your schedule
- You pause and watch the videos as much as you want
- You can ask questions and get help just like in an in-person class
- You will have all the tools and supplies to continue your new skill
- It is convenient and affordable.
- You are able to get much more skill building over time
