What do our students think of our online art assignments?

Don’t take our word for it: learn what Make Art That Sells student Sam Rudd thought of the online art assignments in Assignment Bootcamp, and how it helped her grow her confidence and build a whole new career!

 

Sometimes it’s hard to make art by yourself, isn’t it? Especially right now. Maybe you’re home schooling. Maybe you’re feeling unmotivated from almost a year of living through near-constant low-level stress. Plus maybe you’re not sure what’s popular right now, what clients are looking for, what’s going to catch someone’s eye and land you great work.

What’s cool right now? Which markets are selling in the middle of a global pandemic? Can I even muster the energy to open my sketchbook when I’ve already been home schooling (for which read: 90 minutes of arguing followed by two hours of giving them an ipad and feeling guilty) all morning?

That’s where Assignment Bootcamp comes in. You’ll get something inspiring but manageable from art agent Lilla once a week – and together they all add up to a fab piece of art for your portfolio.

Make Art That Sells student Liz Munro’s short film on rediscovering her creative mojo through art agent Lilla’s online art assignments.

Over four months you’ll get online art assignments that will prompt you to make four brilliant bang-up-to-date portfolio pieces geared toward the hottest markets such as gift, children’s books, editorial (magazine illustration) or wall art, to name a few. The subject matter is fun and marketable, and is drawn from the trend reports that Lilla creates for her own highly-successful artists. Now you can get a sneak peek at that inside information!

But what if I don’t have a lot of free time right now? What if I feel like I’m already spinning half a dozen plates and I don’t have the headspace for this too? Good news: Assignment Bootcamp is one of our most accessible courses in terms of workload. You’ll just get one thing to do per week, which you can focus on without worrying about the end result or where it’s going, and altogether they add up to a fabulous portfolio piece.

And because you start over each month with a whole new piece of art, you don’t have to worry if you skip a week or even a month here or there: you can just start again along with everyone else the following month.

Lilla says: “Part of the way I motivate artists is to build a level of suspense over the weeks. It’s the way I teach—to break everything down into bite-sized bits so students don’t get overwhelmed, and then to build up to the final piece. It makes it more accessible and therefore more enjoyable for everyone.”

Last word from Lilla: “I absolutely love writing the online art assignments, and coming up with fresh and unexpected themes! I always try to outdo myself in delighting and surprising my Bootcamp students. One thing that I’m really proud of is the high number of people who actually do the work. Then I get to marvel at the vast array of fantastic work that comes out of the class. And I’m always on the lookout for new artists to represent!”
