How the Online College of Art & Design Works

Here at OCAD, we offer more than just online art classes. Students get access to their own online studio space, where you can work through the course materials and develop your artistic skills.


In our online studio platform, you’ll find your course units and assignments along with supporting resources. Access video tutorials, step-by-step guides, video recordings of live interactive lessons, and other skills development tools. 


Our interactive online art classes are taught live by an experienced and friendly teacher. This style of taught course is completely unique to our online curriculum – giving students the opportunity to learn from a live teacher and peers.

You’ll develop an art portfolio throughout the course, uploading photographs of completed work and assignments for constructive, friendly feedback. Not only does this help you progress your artistic abilities, it also means you complete the course with a portfolio to kickstart your creative career or further study.


Furthermore, students also get the chance to speak one-on-one with an experienced and qualified personal tutor. You’ll receive personalised support and feedback to help you progress. Our online studio also allows students to view profiles, comment on each other’s work and communicate with fellow students if they wish.
