Work by MATS student Anna Wilson for our most recent Illustrating Children’s Books course. Our outstanding Illustrating Children’s Books online course already gets rave reviews from our students, because it’s enormous fun, produces beautiful art and snags great jobs. Plus for our most recent course, co-teachers art agent Lilla Rogers and children’s book art director Zoë Tucker had a surprise for our students: right before class started, they announced that every one of the weekly reviews of student work would be LIVE! This means that students were able to respond to their teachers, add comments, ask questions and get answers, all in real time, which is highly motivating and encourages each student bring their A-game! There is no other course out there like this and as a result we have been seeing some absolutely incredible art.
