Is SYWYWTAS right for you?

I am Court McCracken, founder of Art Nurture and author of Art Nurture: The Simple Guide to Cultivating Your Creativity.
I have spent my life studying the practice of Visual Art and the process of creativity. What you will receive in this course are the foundational elements of the creation of Visual Art. I designed the lessons to involve a balance of practice & playfulness along with tons of great info on how to not only design your art, but the fundamentals of how to build it from the ground up. You will also learn theories from throughout art history and how to fully experience art! If you are ready to make & experience art more fully SYWYWTAS is right for you! |

As a Visual Arts Educator for 15 years, I know the joy that art students experience when a concept clicks for them and unlocks a new world of possibility in their creations.
I love to be a catalyst in that process and share what I learned in art school as well as from my years as an educator.
I have been a part of the creative growth of artists of all ages and find joy in seeing those students bloom in their study of visual art and creativity!

"One of the most important things I've achieved since starting to work with Court is the ability to engage in thoughtful and honest conversations with other artists and people. These conversations stimulate confidence and enables motivation in each other to take the next step, no matter how big or how small, to fulfill our creative dreams." -Miranda W.
Additional FAQ's
What if I cannot be present for the LIVE Zoom Studio Sessions each month?
We've got you covered! Those will be recorded and then uploaded to our online classroom for you to view later. Not only that, but you will have a chance to submit questions before each session if you are unable to be present.
How long can I access the course?
You have lifetime access to the course, along with access to all updates & continued access to the FB group.
Are art supplies included in the cost?
Art supplies are not included in the cost of the course, but a detailed master supply list is in the online studio & each lesson comes with its own supply list. The good news is, you do not have to buy all supplies at once because of the pacing of the course and the fact that you can go at your own pace. There is also room to use what you already have & learn about my specific suggestions for materials and why when you watch the lessons! So, no rush on ordering tons of art supplies! You can get started with a range of drawing pencils, Red, Blue, Yellow & White Acrylic paint, acrylic paint brushes & two types of paper (one for drawing & Rives BFK for painting). It is suggested you also have a visual journal with paper that is good for mixed media.
