Have you ever heard of an Atelier or is this video the first time you've heard that term?

Art school taught me the mechanics of being a professional artist, but did not teach me how to be an actual artist. I appreciate his desire to return to the basics.

It was a great time being there with you and Jeff.

Thanks for taking the time to hang out with us here in San Diego!

Thanks for coming down! Was great to have you. Good luck with your studio!

Would love an art school w/o the bureaucracy of universities, that taught these  fundamental academic skills, but also went beyond them to the many lessons of modernism and post-modernism

I'm not against the modern school system but it does lack in the art department. Places like these need to be funded by their state. Not places that lack the passion, where you pay more to learn less.

This video is the reason I’m currently doing the 8-day boot camp at Watts right now!!✨

Loved this. I'm a Watts alumn myself and this brought me right back there... This school is truly a special place. Thanks Slew for the quality production!

WOW. An art school and curriculum that teaches real drawing, painting and illustration and study of Masters, in CALIFORNIA!  (California seems to promote only modern art in the state schools.) And now online! I hope this Atelier continues on into the future for generations! Let's overthrow modern art and return art to its former glory, and its future advancements! (And don't give me the lie that there is nothing more to do in realistic art anymore.)

We go into art school knowing it’s often not a lucrative profession, but we at least expect to be good if not rich when we finish. I think having those goalposts from other students hanging up is a good indicator that keeps students motivated but also allows them to recognize in what areas they’re lagging behind.

Im so jealous of all the people that get to study there & under Jeffrey Watts
