The Illustration Academy is every illustrators consumer’s dream, anywhere in the world.
Attending the summer courses on location is a real life changing experience, a big project.
Since the creation of VLP - Visual Literacy Program - last semester, The Illustration Academy is entering a new phase, bringing unprecedented online art teaching methods. The website is the virtual Illustration Academy, with a close follow-up from Faculty instructors on the Forums, blog and videos.
What was great just got incredible, and they joined forces with the acclaimed Massive Black team and now we can enjoy the best of both worlds, all at the same place.
After bringing some of the best video trainings from Massive Black into the VLP program, that was already powered by dozens of The Illustration Academy instructors videos, both schools created Discovery, an in depth, 5 week online program, that is the closest experience to the Academy and Massive Black training courses, without leaving home.
The cost is significantly reduced, ranging from U$ 200.00 to U$ 500.00, and I just can’t stress enough how important this opportunity can be for those who are seriously commited to improving their art and commercial skills.
Just consider having Mike Bierek, John English, Whit Brachna, Mark English, Sam Brown, Jon Foster, Wesley Burt, Sterling Hundley, Jason Chan, Gary Kelley, El Coro, Anita Kunz, Rich Doble, CF Payne, Carl Dobsky, George Pratt, Jason Manley, Kemp Remillard, Brent Watkinson, Natalie Ascencios, Terry Brown, Doug Chayka, Francis Livingston, Robert Meganck, Barron Storey and Andrea Wicklund, right on your screen - full screen at high res using the Elluminate interface, by the way - with no traveling and housing cost, it’s a bargain.
Then some folks let this opportunity window pass by, and then torture themselves tinking: “why didn’t I do it… it wasn’t that expensive at all…”.
Well, it all starts next monday, February 1st, and goes thru March 05th, 5 days a week.
My opinion about it? It’s worth every cent and every minute of it.
Now if you are considering a long term investment, with multiple benefits, spending U$ 45.00 a month for a 12 month acess, there’s nothing like VLP - Visual Literacy Program.
There’s no DVD, online training, forum or group to match this program’s content.
Mostly the same names listed above, in unbelievably dense and insightful videos, ranging from 20 minutes to over 5 hours, and having the instructors and students interacting intensely on the Forums, orienting, answering questions, debating art related subjects, deep and wide by every means.
There’s no way to describe how valuable this can be for any illustrator’s carreer, novice or veteran.
No question goes unanswered, no subject goes without a feedback, all small-talk-free, spam-free, bull-free.
Can it get any better? This is just the start, who knows where and how this is going to be in the near future?
I trust the guys behind all this. I trust the students who attend these programs.
Is it worth? Think it over, you know the answer.
I see you online, on Discovery and at the VLP.
