The Visual Scout: Inside Look at Visual Arts Passage

With fall courses set to start in a little more than a week, we thought it would be a great time to step inside our illustration program and explore what it’s like to take a class with us. A sneak peek at what’s to come this fall!

If you haven’t applied yet— we have a few spots open— apply today and get a free portfolio review, access to our lecture and demo library, and much more. Classes start September 29, 2018!

One of our summer illustration sessions was led by one of our favorite mentors: Edward Kinsella. He recently led a live online demo straight from his studio, the same place he hosts classes each week online! Here’s what some of his students had to say about their experiences:

This is an incredible program. Mentors are really invested with your success and work with everyone at whatever stage of their artistic development, regardless of style.
-Anke Gladnick, Illustration Summer 2018

Visual Arts Passage is not a one size fits all program. And it’s more than just an online program. It’s a mentorship. It becomes tailored to you as the individual. The teachers get to know you and understand your artistic goals at whatever level you are at. They help you see the forest through the trees. Identifying artistic set backs, strengths, and getting to the heart of what you want to create with your art. And they do so by showing you how! The structure of this program is based off of countless successful artists, setting up the students on a path that has them falling in love with art all over again. While opening your eyes to the possibility that, yes that thing you really want to paint and draw all day for a living is possible. – No, really! It’s been an exciting reawakening for me and my love with art making thanks to this program and it’s wonderful teachers. – Dymond Starr Boutte, Illustration Summer 2018

Personal support and lots of in-depth discussions of one’s work with some of the world’s leading professionals in the field. It’s a true eye opener and a magical experience.
– Paul Scherubel, Illustration Summer 2018
