Today is a big day for us over here at ArtistWorks, we've just opened the doors to the Online Art School with Justin BUA and we're very excited. It's the first time we're teaching people how to draw online as opposed to our other online learning schools which focus on music. Adding online art lessons felt natural for us, because the concept of what we do is essentially the same - visually teaching something through the exchange of videos works for any visually taught subject. So with the Online Art School, there's an online curriculum containing video art lessons which students go through at their own pace, and there's a master teacher available to guide the students through the curriculum and give them feedback when they submit videos. 

BUA is the perfect art teacher for this - not only because he's a world renowned artist and former USC art instructor, but because he understands art on a fundamental level from his own experience of learning how to draw both in and out of the classroom.  It's out of his own passion for art that BUA is able to articulate exactly what it takes for anyone to learn how to draw with his online art lessons. Welcome aboard to all the new art students! 

To put ArtistWorks' transition from online music lessons to online art lessons into perspective, we asked Launch Manager and Director of Media John Graves what he thinks:

"It's been really interesting working on these art lessons. I wasn't sure what exactly to expect before we started, since everything we'd done had been around music [and singing] lessons, but as soon as we started filming it was clear that we were onto something big.
