7 reasons why you Need My Year of Art School

Still not sure if My Year of Art School is for you? It definitely is. Here are seven reasons why you need one of these bundles in your life in 2022!

new testimonial 11 3

1. It’s a bumper year for Make Art That Sells

This might just be our biggest year EVER: you’ll get to enjoy SEVEN live courses (compared to five last year) and NINE self-paced courses, including all your favorites, like Illustrating Children’s Books and Assignment Bootcamp: Portfolio, some thrilling recent additions like My Toy Pitch and My Kid Book Pitch, the fantastic return of Margo Tantau and Creating Collections for Home Décor to a live course again, and of course our fabulous NEW courses, Bootcamp Special: Character Play and Redrawing Black History.

More courses means more inspiration and motivation, more professional level illustration assignments, more fascinating art markets to explore, more revenue streams, a more interesting career and ultimately more moola for you.

MYOAS ALL 1

Get all this in 2022 with My Year of Art School ALL. It’s so full of goodness! Get ready to fill your year with inspiration, motivation and everything you need to put a rocket ship under your creative career!

Why force yourself to choose when you could have ALL OF IT? Really the question isn’t so much do you need My Year of Art School so much as can you really face missing out on all this goodness?!

2. MATS math (MATSH if you like)

Whichever way you look at it, My Year of Art School is a bargain.

Okay, so math isn’t our strong point, but hear us out. Say you were obviously going to sign up for your favorites, Assignment Bootcamp: Portfolio and lllustrating Children’s Books; plus you’ve loved the art coming out of My Toy Pitch so you can’t miss that again; the new Bootcamp Special: Character Play looks absolutely brilliant; and you’ve always wanted to explore more editorial illustration, so now you get four whole tracks in Editorial: Illustrating for Magazines and More, you’re pretty tempted to check that out too. Oh and NO WAY you’re missing the return of Creating Collections for Home Décor as a live course!

At full price, those six courses would cost you £1,604 (approx. $2,202). That’s already a bargain, especially when you consider the price of traditional art school. But get this …

My Year of Art School ALL is £1,599 (approx. $2,196) – less than those six courses alone – AND you get those six courses PLUS all these:

So really, can you afford to miss it?! It’s cheaper than traditional art school, you can attend from anywhere in the world, and you can show up in your pajamas if you want (and let’s face it: after the past 18 months, are any of us really ready to start wearing proper pants again?).

3. An exclusive Facebook group and sneak attacks by Lilla

Our students tell us that our friendly, supportive community is one of their favorite things about our courses. As well as access to all of the individual course groups, My Year of Art School students also get access to an exclusive My Year Facebook group with weekly check-ins to keep you on track and accountable, plus regular exclusive live events with Lilla (and sometimes Riley), occasional beta testing of new workshops, sneak peeks at exciting MATS news tidbits and more.

4. Bonus assignments

Make Art That Sells assignments are specifically designed to help you create show-stopping portfolio pieces which will land you paying gigs. Plus of course they’re written in Lilla’s inimitable style, which is motivating and playful, and which leads you step by step to create stunning art that an art director or client will love to see.

5. Your art will thank you for it

Want to make better art? You’ll be astonished at what you can achieve. Lilla always says that she tricks you into creating your very best art – times that effect by a full 12 months and you won’t believe the difference.

6. Catch an agent’s eye

If landing representation with an art agent is on your wish list for 2022, then taking any Make Art That Sells course will give you an amazing opportunity to get your art in front of art agent Lilla, and taking all of them will only increase the odds. Lilla is always on the lookout for fresh new talent from class – in 2021 alone, she offered representation to an unprecedented EIGHT Make Art That Sells students!
