Informational Introductory DVD containing introductions to the New Masters curriculum, the Foundation Course, and the student art book is available FREE-you pay only shipping and handling. This 40 minute video illustrates the program's philosophy and methods, includes examples of the work of all the students (not a select few) who were enrolled in my Green Bay, Wisconsin studio program during the 4th quarter of the 1988-89 school year. It also includes selected examples of adult student work. The introductions to the Foundation Course and the art book will give you a very good sense of what to expect from the first course and how your lessons will be conducted, as well as supplementary instruction on the psychology of drawing and the role of the brain in the drawing process.

The Foundation Course contains:

An Instruction Manual,

A student workbook

All necessary papers and drawing supplies

5 Instructional DVDs

2 mail evaluations

Free telephone support

Home-study instruction begins with the Foundation Course, a composite of the first 4 levels in a 10 level curriculum. It is dedicated to the mastery of approximately 110 of the 195 technical skill groups covered in the curriculum.  I currently use this course in my private classes and in the first phase of my college courses in basic drawing.

*Note: The New Masters Foundation Course replaces the original Young Masters Foundation Course introduced in 1991.  That course is no longer available.  It is being redesigned for the instruction of children between the ages of 3 and 8.

Level 5 covers intermediate grid drawing, basic pen-and-ink techniques, tempera painting, watercolor, introductory pencil shading, linear perspective, design, and color theory.
