You can now take online courses about art right here at A Scholarly Skater!
After years of writing articles aiming to make art, museums, and art history feel more accessible to everyone, expanding into online education feels like a natural fit. My courses share the same accessible, friendly approach you expect from my blog posts, only it’s now available in comprehensive online learning form.
Unlike other online art resources, which generally focus solely on facts, my programs teach skills you can use to interpret art, museums, and exhibitions for yourself. You’ll learn to approach art with confidence without expert knowledge, memorization, or years of intense study.
Students with all levels of art experience will benefit from this approach, which encourages looking closely, engaging with the art, thinking for yourself, and feeling confident in your conclusions. My courses empower everyone to become independent, confident art viewers by teaching them to think like art historians.

Congratulations on your new side hustle! I hope life is keeping you well.
Thanks so much Sean! I am doing well and hope you are, too.
I’m not doing great to be honest although the details are banal and not something to discuss in a public comment thread. My 2021 year-ender gives the public version as of last winter.
