All courses convene in a mentorship format. Small groups of students meet with a highly accomplished working professional artist for fourteen weeks. Courses involve critiques, demonstrations, and discussion of the professional life of the artist--all tailored to the particular needs and visions of the artists enrolled. In addition, each advanced mentorship includes a session with an industry professional such as a gallerist or art director at the end of the semester. This industry guest reviews the artwork of the students. Students in all courses may also observe any other mentorship for free --a $495 value.  Plus, after completing an advanced course, all students have the opportunity to publicize their work through a free alumni portfolio page on the SmArt School website.
