If you have a question about Make Art That Sells please check these Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) first. If you do not find an answer to your question here please feel free to contact us at [email protected].

Q: I’ve never taken an online class before. How does it work? Do I need to be at my computer at a certain time?

A:  No, you only need to be online at a certain time if you want to join the live sessions. If you can’t join live, replays will be saved in the classroom for you to view at a time when it suits you.

Q: What format is the class taught in?

A: The classes consist of a series of fun and instructional videos, downloads, live zooms, mini assignments and assignments delivered via a password-protected online classroom.

Q: What do you get in the My Semester of Art School Live Courses bundle?

A: You get 3 exciting live courses, access to a private classroom and a supportive Facebook community.

Q: I will be away for some of the time the live classes are running. Does this matter?

A: It’s likely that most students will be away at some point. If you miss the deadline for sharing your art in the class galleries, you’re welcome to share in the class Facebook group for peer feedback. All Live reviews will be added to the classroom as a replay.

Q: Do I need any special materials?

A: The course looks at art using a variety of media. We encourage you to try new things, so it is up to you. Use any materials you like – digital or traditional. Just get out your favorite art supplies! You can use a scanner or even your smartphone camera to photograph your work. You may find it useful to have access to a printer to print out course materials.

Q: Do I need any special software?

A: As with all MATS classes, it’s possible to complete the entire course using traditional techniques (painting, drawing, etc.), but if you wish to complete the assignments digitally you’ll need basic knowledge of Photoshop or Illustrator. Photograph or scan in your assignments to showcase your work at its best.

Q: Will I be able to communicate with others in the classes?

A: Yes, you’ll be able to communicate in the private Facebook groups (where you can also share your work). This is a great chance to connect with other artists and designers, get different perspectives and share your work.

Q: Are these art classes or a business classes?

A: Classes are assignment-based aimed at helping you strengthen your portfolio, develop your style  and create commercially-viable pieces. You will get significant business/industry insight into  particular markets.
