Online art classes teach traditional techniques in drawing, painting, and the visual arts.
To build a vocabulary for art history and how fine artists create their work, the History of Art and Intro to Visual Arts courses are a great choice. And if you are new to creating your own artwork, kick things off with Intro to Drawing.
The Drawing I and Figure Drawing courses further expand your skills in pencil and charcoal, from which you can continue on to various types of painting. Painting I and Portrait Painting explore oils, while the Watercolor course encourages you to build a body of work in this medium.
In each course, you will be challenged to extend how you think about art and given opportunities to apply traditional techniques to modern pieces.
