- Curriculum: 5
- Live/interactive feedback: 8
- Assignments: 8
- Crits: 8
- Workshops: 8 (I wouldn't be able to travel for one but I really like the idea of that being available.)
One suggestion I have would be to offer a few more basic instruction classes for traditional mediums for those of us who have not been to a traditional art school.
-
6 Curriculum: This would be a guide for which classes to take and what order to take them.
9 Live/Interactive feedback: This would be higher priced offerings with instructor feedback on your work
8 Assignments: This would be more downloadable assignments for the videos in our subscription offering.
8 Crits: Reasonably priced crits on individual images ($100 range) and full portfolio crits ($450 range)
10 Live in-person workshops and classes: We have a new building now, so this may be possible. Also traveling workshops, etc.

@Lee-White
l'd like to see more about how you set up your fine art shows where you sell your art prints and watercolour paintings. It's been great seeing how Will set up his stands at comic con events.Also please do the 'Turbo Charging Your Creativity' live course again. I need to take this course!
Thanks. -

More writing courses with manuscript crits and some courses on Art Licensing too would be cool!
Happy Creating

@charlie-eve-ryan we are making the licensing class right now. We just filmed the first two parts and it was awesome. The teacher of this class has been doing it for a long time and knows a ton about it.
Also, have you watched Ann Whitford Pauls class on writing picture books? She is fantastic.

How bout a class on caricatures? looking out for those freelancers:) And how bout a fashion illustrating class? Why not? Thanks for all the great work you do already!

What SVS is offering now is good - don't try and expand into writing, etc as there are already a great deal of sites for authors.

Great guys, thanks!
Our plans for SVS are having a variety of things for students. Which is showcased by your answers here. Some people want feedback, others are ok with video learning. We will be offering more interactive classes where you get feedback. In fact, we are working on a formal curriculum that basically walks you through everything you need to know to be a pro. We are still going to be making video offerings for the subscription too. We will offer assignments as an additional purchase if you want/need that for the classes. So lot's of big stuff coming at SVS!!!

Crits 10
Live workshops 4 (I live in Canada but with enough notice of an event I would try to plan a vacation to attendNotes
I would like to see some crits for writing children's booksIn the "writing Children's books" videos it is discussed how the Author who illustrates his own work can take a different approach to writing because more details can be put into the art. I would love to see a video series or third Thursday talk from people who write and also illustrate there own work.
-
@Lee-White you aren’t getting rid of your in depth portfolio critique, are you? I only ask because I see that critiques are listed.
-
1: Curriculum- 1 (you could just organize the videos by "recommended")
2. Live- 1 (I'm assuming this does not include Third Thursdays)
3. Assignments- 10 (This would be helpful for beginners who don't have their own projects to work on.)
4. Crits- 9
5. In person- 1 (I live in Chicago lol)I love the critiques. I learn a lot from Third Thursdays even if it's not my art being critiqued.
-
@lee-white The curriculum seems like a good idea. It would add structure which would be good as I do tend to dither when selecting which vid to watch next. Although I suppose the order or videos depends of what you're trying to get out of the it.
-
These are all great!

Assignments 7 - as a working artist and minister, hard to get even the challenges done, never mind assignments. But I invest in myself an hour a day, so not impossible.
Crits 5 (cost implication)
Live workshops 1. Unless they are recorded in which case 8. I live in the uk and they are never at a good time from experience in other learning international environments. Either family or other business. Attending in person impossible. -

To continue the awesomeness......
An annual members retreat somewhere cool, lol just kiddingcontinue recorded group critiques (members submit in advance and a few are critiqued) I learned so much from those.
Continue the group classes (turbocharging etc.,)
Continue Third Thursdays
And I love the new system that shows what you have viewed and you can resume-that has been awesome!
Thanks again I feel so blessed to be a part of the SVS community. -

5--I think this would be nice, but since everyone is looking for something different and working on different skills I don't know how universal such a curriculum would be. Maybe a few lists--"If you want to improve your drawing accuracy, look at these classes in this order. If you want to learn more about painting in Photoshop, look at these classes. If you're working on story telling...." etc. etc.
-
10! So valuable.
-
8--I think we all try to apply what we learn, but when the teacher gives a specific way to try it helps a lot.
-
9...I really want a portfolio crit but I feel like I would put it off indefinitely because I'm "not ready yet".... I need to stop doing that already.
-
Since I am not located near the SVS headquarters I feel like I can't really comment on this one. It isn't really something I could take advantage of. I wish I could though!
