🎉 The Interactive Feedback Program is Leaving Beta!
We are thrilled to announce that the Interactive Feedback Program is moving out of beta! Starting August 1st, 2024, this program will be fully available, beginning with the next module in our learning tracks, Figure Drawing 1.
I’m currently working through the Interactive Courses, what does this mean for me?
Students who are currently working through the Interactive Courses for a certificate have until August 1st, 2024 to continue submitting assignments for free feedback. After that date, all assignment submissions will require NMA Tokens (see more information in the Token section below).
✏️ Unlocking the Figure Drawing 1 Module
Great news for students who have completed the Drawing Foundations! With the Interactive Feedback Program now out of beta, we are excited to unlock the next module in our curriculum: Figure Drawing 1. This module is a vital part of our educational tracks and is expected to become one of our most popular modules.
To submit your assignments for feedback, simply follow the links in the ‘Assignment’ tab on any interactive course. You will be notified via email once your assignment has been reviewed by the NMA Feedback Team.
