If you select the full course, your instructor critiques include:
A special, protective mailing pouch designed to hold you assignment and get it to us quickly and safely.
When you lesson is received, it is assigned to an instructor who will provide a complete evaluation of your assignment. Depending on the subject matter of the Lesson, and the medium called for, he or she will place overlays on top of your work. Sometimes these are tissue paper, sometimes clear acetate sheets—sometimes both.
On these overlays, your Instructor makes notes and indicates changes and suggestions for improvements. On the clear acetate sheets, he or she will actually paint his suggestions—for example, a change in color to indicate depth, or a possible rearrangement of the items in your composition. With this approach, you can easily see, by lifting and lowering the acetate sheet, how your painting would be improved by these changes. See an Example
In addition, your Instructor writes a thorough and descriptive letter about your work for this assignment, pointing out strengths and weaknesses and describing techniques and approaches for improving your results. He or she will also answer any questions that you may have raised about this assignment or other more general art issues. See an Example
Before returning your assignment, we take digital photos of each phase and keep them on file so that you and we have a record in case of future need. If you wish, we can put all this material on a CD for you when you complete your course.
