There are two ways to receive instructor feedback:
1. Personal Projects (Studio Plus & All Access)
Bring artwork you've created on your own or in any Prima Materia course to Personal Projects with Olya Losina on Thursdays and Fridays. This is an open studio-style critique session where you can receive feedback on any artwork you're currently working on.
2. Live Course Feedback (All Access & Individual Live Course Students)
Receive feedback during your live course on artwork created as part of that class. This feedback is included with All Access memberships and individual live course purchases.
Please note: Feedback is not provided via email.
You'll need:
• An internet connection
• The latest version of Zoom downloaded on your device
• If you want to get feedback on your art, a camera and microphone
• The supplies for the class (after registration, you'll get a confirmation email with the supply list)
• A space to create art in, which can be anything from a dining room table to a dedicated art studio
• An open mind and a willingness to try new things!
The art supplies differs depending on the course, however you do not need to repurchase materials you already own. If you have different materials than what is listed, reach out to your instructor to make sure they'll work for the course - the answer is often yes, alternatives are welcome!
Every course has a supply list with conveniently linked materials.
