Art Sparks
Art Sparks Sessions are sample classes or mini workshops covering a hyper-specific topic and are often used to introduce participants to a new art form, technique, or equipment. They might be repurposed content or a unit from a larger online course. Art Sparks Sessions are offered in 30-minute and 1-hour segments and the following formats:
- Meeting Sessions are reserved for sessions that require a supply list and for the participants to work on camera alongside the Leader.
- Webinar Sessions are more “listen and learn” where participants can watch and use the Q&A to ask questions.
