Committing to Fewer Instructors

A little back story on this. Christine, my wife, and I ran a physical workshop down in Tucson called Tucson Art Academy (that is why we named our online academy Tucson Art Academy Online). We had it for five years and in that time spent we had some great artists come through that I had invited for lectures. I can tell you that, fundamentally, they all spoke the same language. There was not anything “revolutionary” that they talked about. The difference was that each of them had their own take on subject matters like value, color, and design.

“ As far as getting insight from [an instructor], it came from who I stuck with.”

What is really important here is that I see some students taking workshops from different instructors all the time. If you are doing this, it is not bad, but I would hone in on just a few instructors that really speak to you. Take as many courses as you can and study with them as much as you can. Try to “squeeze that lemon.” If you find a set of instructors that speak to you, you need to dive deep in with them. I really believe you will have a lot more improvement and benefit from that.

There is nothing wrong with jumping from instructor to instructor, but as far as getting insight from them, it came from who I stuck with. This worked well for me and I think it would work for you. This is one reason why we have offered our 365-day mentoring courses where you are with one mentor for a whole year with the option to stay on monthly after your year has ended. This way, you can “squeeze that lemon,” as much as you can with one instructor. Then, when you are ready, you can always move on to another one that speaks to you.
