When we at My Modern Met launched our online art classes in 2022, we did so with the desire to put more creativity in the world. Thanks to our incredible instructors, we’re proud to say that we’ve met that goal. Over the past year, we’ve added more online art classes to our catalog to allow artists of all levels to grow their talents.
My Modern Met Academy has published four new classes over the last year in a variety of themes to grow our students’ painting and drawing skills. Curated by our staff and crafted by our expert instructors, each course takes students step by step through the creative process. So, whether you want to learn how to start painting with watercolors or always dreamed of drawing a realistic portrait, you’ll have all the information you need at your fingertips.
Other classes will help you craft tools to elevate your artistry. In our Acrylic Masterclass, you’ll not only create a hue matrix and learn about mixing color, but you can even learn to stretch your own canvas. And thanks to street artist Alice Pasquini, you can see how to incorporate stencils into your artwork and learn to cut them by hand.
Check out more information about the courses below and watch a sneak preview of each one to see what you have in store. Whether these courses are for you or you wish to gift them to someone else—which is easy to do with a click—you’ll be investing in creativity. And the best part is that these online courses are pre-recorded, so you can start and stop them at any time and even watch them again and again.
