For a long time, the Western canon has separated “arts” and “crafts.” This distinction has its own fascinating history, but today, the lines between the two camps have blurred. When it comes to creating art, the possibilities are truly endless. There are a thousand and one ways to draw and paint, as there are to sculpt, photograph, collage, and so on. It is precisely this “and so on” portion of creating that is the future of today’s art. And with My Modern Met Academy’s online art courses, you can expand your creative horizons and challenge yourself in more ways than one with a selection of our crafty online courses.
Learn how to create art you can wear in Khara Plicanic’s class, Crochet Crash Course: Fiesta Fringe Bag. Plicanic walks you through the basics of crocheting as you follow along in this course to create a one-of-a-kind bag. Essential steps like creating stitches, finishing off rows, and putting different pieces from a pattern together will set students up for success for later projects.
If you’re interested in fiber arts, but not specifically crochet, we recommend you try Intermediate Embroidery: Getting Creative with Printed Fabrics taught by Floor Giebels. Create and print a design of your making, and then learn the stitches and techniques that will help you bring your work to life with embroidery thread.
In Beyond Bouquets: Turning Pressed Flowers Into One-of-a-Kind Art, taught by Anna Zakirova, you have the chance to turn the outdoors into an artwork of your choosing. Learn the intricate process of picking, preparing, and then pressing different types of flora in a variety of setups. Zakirova offers a wide variety of pressing techniques and tricks for numerous plants and flowers, including roses, zinnias, pansies, and more.
Whether you’re drawn to yarn, thread, or petals, these courses prove that art can take countless forms, many of them tactile, wearable, or even wild-grown. With expert artist-led guidance, and online, on-demand courses that offer you room to explore, My Modern Met Academy invites you to reimagine what creativity looks like.
