AUsquared: Art Instruction Against the Status Quo.

“You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete.” -R. Buckminster Fuller


With the addition of Nick Chu to the staff, we've brainstormed a much bigger plan for the school. To make this more of a community instead of a digital textbook, we'll be working on a user account system with which you'll be able to pick an area of study, receive assignments, upload your finished work, and get feedback. Additionally, we'll be adding capabilities for reviewers and instructors to upload lessons efficiently based on lessons requested by students.

For now, check out the first video lessons on perspective drawing.
