I think taking A and B could work very well. But section D has become much more difficult recently — a quite low 51% passing rate on the last exam. Its also 3 hours long, and the material is very very broad.

Maureen, You’re comment made me smile. I hope no one is doing this licensure thing for exclusivity and prestige. One person’s “exclusive and prestigious” is another person’s struggling profession. I would never go through all of this for exclusivity or prestige. Are you aware that most people do not know or care what an LA is? I was kidding wh…[Read more]

It’s great to have a wall of all the books listed as study material. For section A, B, & D the list use to be about 30 books. Most people don’t have the time to read or the expenditures for such a library! They have recently reduced the list to about 4 or 5.Some have very little to do with studying for the exam. Could it be that some academic is…[Read more]

Each time I take it, I think, “I just need to go home and focus more on ( fill in the blank)”. Then I come back, and little I focused on is on there and something I never saw before in all my life is on there. That’s pretty bad when you own over 50-80 vignettes, a shelf of books, numerous electronic feeds and have practiced them every day fo…[Read more]

Thoughts on Tuesday’s latest Section E monster…?

Richard E. Scott posted an update in the group Graphics Teacher Workshops 15 years, 4 months ago

I wanted to explain the comment below about me no longer teaching graphics workshops after 2011 (from good friend Brandon Reed). From mid-year 2011 forward, I’ll be teaching fine art workshops (drawing, watercolor, and oil painting). I have no plans on teaching Color Mastery or Freehand Perspective Sketching (workshops aimed at Landscape…[Read more]

I just signed up for the Color Mastery Class in February. If anybody is interested in splitting the cost of a hotel room, feel free to send me a message.

would anyone be interested in selling their used workbooks from the workshops to me? I live in Australia and in the near future, not able to travel to the States to attend the graphic workshops.

Christopher- The thing that stood out the most is your resume. Move your education down towards the bottom- below everything other than maybe affiliations. With it on top, above professional experience, you are making it look like it is more important than your actual work.

I am planning on taking C this December. Please help with any tips and helpful resources. Many many thanks!!!

Doug Godfrey posted an update in the group Denver LA 15 years, 7 months ago

Hello all! I’m new to the Denver area and excited to see that there is a L.A. Denver group. My family and I just relocated from San Francisco about 6 months ago with our now 21 month old daughter. We are loving it! The unfortunate part (for me anyway) is that I had to give up my job and am now back in the job market. Ya…not the greatest time to…[Read more]

Mark, I wouldn’t hesitate to go back to your old employer to ask for more samples. That employer could be very understanding of the circumstances “out there” and want to help you. – Who knows, maybe he will have just gotten a big job and will need to hire you back!
Good luck
