FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)
Do I need any previous art skills to learn this course?
Nope - this is suitable for all skill levels and no prior skills are required. Simply the desire to create and have fun.
How will I be able to remember all that is covered in the course? Should I be making notes?
The whole curriculum is designed so it's easy to learn and also explore your own intuitive creative path. However, I would also recommend jotting down notes, ideas and inspirations in a visual diary/sketchbook which will become your very own learning tool for future courses and activities you might pursue in your creative journey.

Can I change my mind?
I am sorry but once you sign up then refunds will not be given unless as specified in our terms and conditions. If there are technical difficulties I will work with NZenler to ensure these are sorted for you.
What is included in the course?
The whole course is a self paced course which means it is not run "live"with lessons released each week. I will be checking in a couple of times a week regardless and will be checking on your progress. There are video lessons some of which have multiple parts, mini quizzes to self-assess your learning, as well as workbooks to download to help you practice what you learn. There are discussion boards under lessons where you can discuss, share your work, interact with your classmates and get feedback from me on the work you create. Plus you get access to a private Facebook group where you can continue your learning via peer-to-peer discussions, show and tell and connecting with old and new students.
Is there a time limit for this course? Can I complete it at my own convenience?
This is a 8 week course. However life happens and some may need bit longer to complete. Unless you have purchased 'LIFETIME ACCESS', your fee buys you 12 month access so you can complete it at your own pace and revisit as needed. I would highly recommend doing your best to complete it within this time frame so you get the opportunity to share and get feedback on your art projects that result out of this project.
