VAA is truly invaluable!

I have learned so many important foundational concepts through Virtual Art Academy that I never got through other resources. I find that the books and online videos I used previously taught specific and isolated techniques, and they lacked applicability of important concepts necessary for understanding and growth. The “building blocks” approach with numerous assignments throughout is ideal for learning and practicing. Despite working full-time in a hospital and having limited time each week, I have had no trouble progressing through the program. I love having an online art community available for getting tips and feedback on my work. Barry is an incredible artist and teacher, giving us a deep dive into a new topic or artist monthly in the Spiral of Learning Program. My art has improved tremendously in the few months since I joined. VAA is truly invaluable!
