Home study for art schools offers new opportunities for learning.
Attending classes at an art school or college campus is not always feasible for those wishing to learn to draw or paint, due to distance or class hours. While home study has its challenges, requiring determination and dedication, it allows a student to learn without having to commute. A variety of home study art schools are available. Some offer low-cost classes that cover several areas of art. More in-depth courses are available also. And for those considering a career in art, the option of attending an accredited university through online study is possible.
