I love the podcast and SVS! David Hohn’s perspective classes finally made perspective make sense for me (even after years of art classes lol). I always recommend SVS for beginning illustrators. Will be checking out y’all’s pro classes next year ✨
It looks like a great redesign for your curriculum and paths to learn what is needed for students particular goals. Something like this would have been amazing back in 1969 through 73 when I was 1st starting.
I had art classes for non-art majors when I started college. But found myself more "drawn" to art as I went. Next my future wife and I moved to a rural property and I began doing "commercial" art for companies in the area and we both did art fairs. I made jewelry, my wife did illustration and painting. At that time I taught myself most of the jewelry skills and invested in tools from the profits of sales. My wife switched from art to weaving, and did quite well with that. We both had to teach ourselves much of what we did. My only other formal art education was ornamental ironwork classes at university and building my own forge. One thing I learned in those classes was my own annual supplies and tools budget was larger than the universities annual budget. I did get to take some art history classes while there as well as few great workshops with blacksmiths and other metal artists. But as one can see, my education was hit and miss over the years, partly because of the move to the country (there was no internet back then). My graphic art work helped us greatly in marketing our art and weaving and developing wholesale lines and switch to wholesale trade shows. I then began to make catalogs and sell sheets for other artists and craftsmakers. (again, this was before the internet became such a dynamic tool).
Your students should do well with the dynamics of your restructuring evolution of SVSLearn.
I guess I put in my story to illustrate how things once were like compared to now, but the people must still put in the hard work.

These changes are awesome! Can’t wait to have some time again to deep dive in SVS again 🌱
