If you’ve taken online classes for school, you’ll already know the convenience of skipping the traffic, saving time and money, and being able to join from anywhere! While it’s a different experience from learning in-person, our students prefer learning art online for many reasons:
-
No more stress about missing classes. We’ll send you the recording so you can get caught up before the next class, whenever works best for you.
-
No need to pack up and leave the studio when class ends. Didn’t finish your masterpiece during class? Send in your work (finished or unfinished) on Google Classrooms to get feedback from your instructor even in between classes. If you’re on a creative roll, you can continue to draw or paint for the rest of the day!
-
Less social anxiety. Are you shy or an introvert? Webcams and mics are optional, so feel free to stick to interacting via the text chat. No matter what you’re comfortable with, you’ll still have the option of interacting with other artists like you.
Nope! Talent is a misconception – sure it offers an advantage, but ultimately only passion and effort combined with consistent practice will bring creative success.
“I am a strong advocate for passion and effort over talent. If you love to draw in your free time, all you need is a supportive and encouraging environment to thrive! This is the spirit of being an art nerd — always seeking creativity because of an all-encompassing love for art.
At Winged Canvas, we nurture artistic integrity and design thinking. Our goal as art educators is to mentor our students to become fearless creators of the future — artists, illustrators, animators, and designers who make meaningful artwork.”
- Fei Lu, Winged Canvas Founder

Over our many years of teaching art, developing curriculum, and supporting other educators, our teaching method has been proven to be effective with students of all ages. Since 2013, we’ve guided hundreds of thousands of people to becoming better artists and designers. All lessons at Winged Canvas follow our unique N.E.R.D. Teaching Method, the four pillars of learning:
NURTURE: Inspire students with visual examples that introduce a new concept.
EXPLORE: Identify, discuss, and interpret what was observed.
RECREATE: Instructor demonstrates the technique or creative process step by step.
DESIGN: Students create within the theme, using the new concept or skill learned.
Beginner or advanced, every project is broken down into these four stages. At Winged Canvas, we know the importance of understanding the creative process. Instead of just copying the teacher, you will learn how to create meaningful artwork with design, purpose, and style.
Fun fact: We call ourselves, our students, and our growing online community “art nerds” because of this. It has become a guiding philosophy of ours… and we even wrote an art nerd manifesto!
Our instructors are passionate teachers and professional artists with creative industry experience from a variety of fields: illustration, animation, concept art, game design, painting, graphic design and more. Many of our teachers have graduated from renowned art schools such as OCAD University, Sheridan College and Art Center College of Design.
Tip: If you’re building an art portfolio, or looking for customized learning or career advice, you’ll want to work with these experienced artists in an Art Mentorship class.
"At Winged Canvas, you can attend world-class online art lessons by professional artists from home, or anywhere. Our mission is to make art education easily accessible to everyone."
