A Revolutionary Idea in Teaching Drawing & Painting
A detailed description of the Full
Drawing & Painting Art Course follows, but the key to our having
students in Japan, China, Australia, Saudi Arabia, Malaysia,
Mallorca, Grand Cayman, Great Britain, Canada as well as all over
the USA is a digital camera. The student uses the camera to take
digital photographs of their assigned lesson artwork and attach
those photos to an email to the school. We can then prepare detailed
comments, hand drawn and painted in watercolors of how-you-could-have-done-it better
critiques that are posted to your Personal WEB Folder for you to
review 24 hours a day/7 days a week/365 days a year
