We have created an online forum where you can get together online and share you work on the Virtual Art Academy program with other students. You can post your assignments and get feedback from other students, as well as start discussions with other students on specific parts of the program that you are working on. If you are working in isolation, this is an excellent way to connect with other students around the world who are working on the same learning program as you.

• Paintings: An area where you can show other students the type of work you do
• Discussions: An area in which you can discuss ideas related to the course materials
• Assignments: An area in which you can upload your assignments so that other students can see them and comment on them. Sometimes we find that several students who have been working on the same set of assignments get together online to work together, posting their assignments as they do them. In that way you have someone else to work with you and help you in your artistic journey.
• Critiques: A special area that you can upload your paintings if you want other students to critique them for you and give you their feedback. This is a very popular section. We try to get everyone to use the Visual Music & Poetry model to critique the paintings so that we keep the discussion focussed.
• Groups: There is also an option for Virtual Art Academy students to create geographically-based groups, so you can create your own Virtual Art Academy group for just your local area – you may discover other students living nearby.

Important Note: There is no instructor. The online campus is designed for students to help each other and who otherwise might not have anyone to work with. This keeps the campus inexpensive and affordable for everyone. If there were an instructor, the campus would cost the same as going to art school (of the order of $20,000 per year).
