Easter School Holiday Workshops now delivered in our Virtual Studio
As we navigate our way around COVID_19, we are excited to offer Easter Holiday classes in our Virtual Art Studio where we will deliver our regular art classes live to your home studio.
Our program will be launched Monday afternoon, 7 April
How is this successful?
• You will be able to interact in real time with your tutor as if you were in the Art Est studio with them at your usual class time
• Watch your tutor up close when they do step by step demonstrations and discuss key points with your class.
• As you do your own art, your tutor is available to answer your questions.
• Students get real-time one-on-one feedback, tips and suggestions from your tutor during the class
• Hear and learn from the feedback your tutor gives to other members of your class.
• Participate in an end of class critique with take home learnings to practice between classes
• Like our term classes which are kept small for an optimum learning environment, there is a maximum of 12 students in our virtual classes.
How Does an Online Art Class Work?
• An online art class at Art Est Art School is taught live by your tutor from a dedicated production studio or ‘Virtual Art Classroom’ at Art Est. in Leichhardt. The technology we use allows you to see your tutor, their art demonstrations and other students in real-time.
• As you experience in face-to-face classes, your tutor will demonstrate step-by-step the key elements of the class which you will then practice. A close up camera allows you to see clearly the technique that the tutor is demonstrating.
• At the end of each step you will be able to show your work back to the tutor and then get feedback on what you did well and what could be improved.
• At the end of the lesson you will receive a written guide to remind you of the key points and how to apply what you have learned.
Essential to Participate in the Virtual Studio
• A desktop, laptop, tablet or ios or android smartphone
• An internet connection – broadband wired or wireless (3G or 4G/LTE)
• Most desktops, laptops etc have Speakers and a microphone, but if yours does not you will a built-in or USB plug-in or wireless Bluetooth
• Most desktops, laptops have webcam or HD webcam, if yours does not you’ll need to get this sorted.
• Check and test everything before you enrol, and double check the day before your class!
