Online Art Classes FAQ

What will be included in my Online Art Class Package?

One purchase includes a Zoom link + I.D. to your live, online class. The class will be delivered via Zoom and feature a live, professional instructor, Linda Wehrli, who will walk you through a lesson as described above. You will have the opportunity to ask questions as well as participate from home.

How many people is my purchase good for?

Each purchase is good for one "device" (i.e. one computer, phone, tablet, etc. you'll be logging in from). This ensures we don't get more people in the class than the instructor can handle. Though we understand some people live together and will be working/learning together, the intent is that each class still allows for the same attention to attendees as if students purchased separately. Please be respectful of this!

Will I need anything from home to use in the class?

You will need a reliable Internet connection as well as a computer or device with which you can access your virtual class. We recommend you arrive to class 5-10 minutes early to ensure you're able to set up your device and connection. You will need the materials listed under  the "Supplies Needed" section above. If you would like to purchase the supplies directly from the studio for pick-up, please email [email protected].

Am I able to ask questions or interact with the class?

Yes, you'll both be able to ask questions using the chat function in Zoom as well as at certain intervals during the class via voice/audio. If the class winds up being on the smaller side, more spontaneous interaction/questions will be encouraged.

I've never taken an art class before! Are beginners welcome?

Yes! The Online Intro to Drawing Packages are ideal for beginners and students returning to art after a long absence.
