How do Jumpstart Courses differ from the Watts Online Program?

The Watts Atelier Online Program is a subscription based program (pay every month) with an entire curriculum. With the Watts Online Program, you get can get access to 50+ courses at one time that will take you from beginner to advanced. Not only that, but the Watts Online Program also provides hundreds of pages of PDF workbooks and reference, as well as feedback critiques on your work through our curated grading team.

Watts Jumpstart Courses are focused classes on specific topics. You make one $49 purchase, and that gives you access to the material of the course for 7 weeks. Jumpstart courses are a great way for students to practice specific concepts while also serving as a great introduction for new students to the Watts Method of teaching.

What's included?

Each JumpStart course will be slightly different in terms of length, amount of reference given and number of videos. JumpStart Courses will always include the following:

- At least 5 hours of instruction and 5 video demonstrations.
- Images of the teacher's demonstrations.
- Photo Reference to work from to practice concepts from the class.

How does it work?

Upon purchasing a Watts Atelier JumpStart course, you'll be redirected to your Watts Atelier Online dashboard. On the left side, click "JumpStart" to access your courses. On the course page, you'll have access to all demos and reference and can browse through the course however you'd like until your 7 week period is up.

Will I have access for exactly 7 weeks?

Yes. If you sign up for a JumpStart class, you will have access for exactly 7 weeks (49 days) from the date of purchase.
