Method to my Madness OnDemand Class
Method to my Madness OnDemand Class
I'm going to take students on a little trip into my studio. From beginning to end I'm going to let students tag along as I conceive and create a piece of art. We start off with the inspiration and design- I'll show students how I begin a piece and what I do to research and prepare. I'll then take students into the world of hunting and gathering- flea markets and trash bins for supplies. Maybe a stop off at an art store or two for other goodies. Next construction and paint. - watch me build and paint and finish. I'll be giving commentary during the process. Finally a final critique of what I've done. Not sure what I'm going to make yet...you'll have to wait and see.
• How does it differ from live class? Online classes allow for a bit more in depth explanations of techniques etc.
• Will there be video? A: Yes. I have about 180 of minutes of protected video that only students will be able to access.
• Will it be live? No. I will not be doing live video, but I will be setting up a Yahoo Group where I will be available to discuss your questions. However I each week I will record a video responding to all the questions posed in the Yahoo group.
• Can you tell me more about the Yahoo Group? Students can access this anytime and discuss issues with other students. A gallery is also available for students to share current and past works.
• Is the class segmented or do I get everything at once? I have designed the class so you will have access to all the information at once and can play with it as you like, at your own speed. New weekly videos will pop up with additional tidbits and tips.
• What kind of site is being used to host this class? I'm using a protected TypePad account. • How will I access the TypePad account? When class begins I will send out passwords and usernames to all the students.
• What else will be on the blog? Along with the Videos I will be posting the major questions as they come up, and the solutions. I will also do weekly video addressing these questions.
• Is this for Beginners or Advanced students? It's for everyone. I've made it so it is information that can be used by all levels.
• Will it be entertaining? Geez, I hope so. I will try and make it very un-dry and fun.
