If you’re like me and a total art supplies hoarder or anyone who’s ever dreamt of wielding a paintbrush but been scared off by the commitment of art college! This review is for you.
As a former pencil-wielding, paint-splattering creative who put down the tools way back when, I’ve been itching to get back into the art world for years. But let’s be honest, between life, work, and the ever-growing mountain of art supplies gathering dust, traditional art schools just weren’t in the cards.
Enter Art School By Subscription, a brilliant online art school founded by the awesome Tracy. Here’s the deal: Tracy, a seasoned artist overflowing with knowledge and passion, has created a subscription-based online art school that’s accessible, engaging, and (dare I say) downright fun. You can learn from anywhere, anytime, whether it’s your cosy living room, your dedicated art cave, or even your train commute (just hold onto your brushes!).
The best part? It’s flexible. The monthly subscription lets you learn at your own pace, dipping into the treasure trove of offerings and attending live sessions (or catching the recordings at 5am as you now wake up at this time EVERY day). The platform itself is a breeze to navigate, with tons of sections and resources to explore.
But what truly sets Art School By Subscription apart is Tracy herself. Her infectious enthusiasm and vast knowledge of all things art make learning a joy. She pushes you to tap into your creativity and rediscover the pure pleasure of creating.
From delving into art history to exploring different artists’ techniques and styles, there’s something for everyone. Whether you’re a complete beginner or a rusty artist looking to reignite the spark, you’ll find value here.
The live sessions are a friendly space where Tracy interacts with students and they share their artwork and feedback. It’s a warm and welcoming community that feels more like a supportive group of art buddies than a stuffy classroom.
And the learning doesn’t stop after the tutorials! You can upload your artwork for Tracy’s expert feedback, participate in weekly challenges to keep the creative juices flowing, and connect with fellow art enthusiasts in the safe online community.
So if you have that feeling that your creative spark needs a stick of dynamite under it? Or maybe you’re surrounded by a growing collection of art supplies that just beg to be used? Then Art School By Subscription is for you! Grab a friend, make it a regular art date, and embark on this creative journey together. It’s also the perfect gift for that friend who’s always putting things off – a nudge in the right direction to finally explore their artistic side.
Feeling a bit isolated and craving some like-minded company? The online community at Art School By Subscription is here for you. The chats during live sessions and the Facebook group are brimming with warmth and inspiration. Seeing other people’s artwork and creative journeys is a powerful motivator to keep going.
Plus, there are currently Christmas vouchers available (perfect for the art lover in your life!), free sessions to get a taste of what it’s all about, and Tracy herself is super friendly and responsive if you have any questions (no art-related anxiety is too big or too small!).
In just a month, I’ve learned a ton, tackled projects I never would have attempted on my own, and most importantly, rediscovered the joy of creating. My inner artist is officially back in business, and thanks to Art School By Subscription, I’m already plotting my next artistic adventure (and yes, I’ve requested more art supplies for Christmas – got to keep the momentum going!).
