Note: this page is still under construction, but there is still plenty to look at!
This guide will walk you through, step by step how activities in Art Club work.
1 on 1 Call
I’ll get you started with a 30 min., 1 on 1 call. We can chat about anything you want, and it’s okay if you don’t know what you want to talk about!
Some topics people often like to discuss are your goals, recommendations for how to study, what to do next, and how to get the most out of Art Club.

Moderators
If you need immediate assistance, type @moderator in any channel and someone on our team will assist you.

Voice Channels
Voice channels are where you can speak to our staff on voice! See below the 3 voice channels we have.
There is no link to join like there is in Zoom. Simply click on the voice channel to enter.
During all voice sessions, you can see my screen, share your art, and more.
Critiques
Art Club critiques are a 2 min. audio recording by Prof Lieu which are accompanied by a written transcript.
The critique channels are a “forum” channel so creating a post is different from writing in the text channels.
Often members will need several rounds of critiques as their artwork progresses, the critique channels consolidate everything in 1 place for easy reference.
Many enjoy listening and reading other members’ critiques, sometimes it’s easier to absorb a critique when it’s not your artwork!
Tech Support
We can answer your questions promptly, everyone needs tech support at some point. Lots of members are happy to help too, ask, ask, ask!
We have moderators who are ready to assist you too.
Share Your Art
We love seeing the diversity of artworks members are creating!
Share finished/old artworks in SHOW-TELL and works in progress in WIP.

Open Studios
So many of us find it difficult to find chunks of time to our artwork. Open Studios makes it easy because we set the times for you.
Speak with us on voice, or listen while you work on your personal projects.
Like our workshops, you can get feedback in real time as you work during the session. Start an artwork at the beginning and post that early stage.
Get feedback from us on voice, work some more, and get another round of feedback! Feedback is often most impactful in real time because you are getting support in the moment.
Sessions are 2 hours, and occur 3 days per week.
Sundays 11-1pm EST
Mondays 2-4pm EST
Thursdays 6-8pm EST
There is no requirement to speak on voice during a session, many members enjoy listening and hearing about nerdy art topics.
You’ll learn as much from seeing each other’s works in progress and ideas as you will from our staff!
Q&A Voice Chats
These are 1 hour sessions led by 1 staff artist where you can ask questions about any topic, have your artwork critiqued, and more.
There is no requirement to speak on voice, a lot of people enjoy listening and working on their own projects at the same time. You don’t have to speak on voice to have a question answered, or to have your artwork critiqued.
We do close speaking requests 30 min. into a session, so please type TALK into #party-chat as soon as you decide to speak.
Often #party-chat has it’s own lively conversation going on while we are speaking on voice! This is a great place to get started interacting by typing live during the session.
Video Library
Art Club has it’s own exclusive video library where you will find a diverse range of topics in wellness, professional development, art supplies and techniques, art alongs, the artistic process, and more.
Video Replies
Sometimes a big question gets asked in Art Club that require a more comprehensive answer. I record video replies so I can go deeper into the conversation.
New videos are announced in the #videos-streams under the News channels.
Live Streams
Live streams are a combination of discussions and art alongs! With a small group we can have more in depth conversations and you’ll get more personal attention.
If you creating art in response to the live stream topic, you can post your art in #party-chat and get your work critiqued on the live stream.
You don’t have to draw the same subject during an art along, feel free to work on any artwork you are working on and share with us.
Art Club live streams will not show up on our YouTube channel because they are private.
Go to #videos-streams to get the link before the stream begins.
