Hello, creative students!

I hope this message finds you well. I'm sitting down to plan my 2025 teaching content, and thought this would be a good opportunity to reach out and say hello, to reflect on what we've done together this year, and to welcome your input!

I'm really proud to say that I released 20 new classes this year, which include a lot of new graphic design project classes. Skillshare introduced the concept of "short-form" classes this year, meaning under 15 minutes long, and that's given me a great opportunity to share design projects with you that focus on practical skills rather than theory - I'm secretly tricking you into becoming better at graphic design while making a fun project! Sneaky, right?

If you haven't checked those classes out yet, I would recommend looking at these ones in particular:

Create Artsy Stamp Collages in Canva
Make a Personalized Desk Calendar with Canva
Make Your Own DIY Notepads

Which brings me to my next topic - classes in 2025! So far, I have a pretty fun list of ideas to create and teach, but there is always room for more and I would really welcome your suggestions.

My 2025 teaching calendar will so far include:

more Canva design classes
some graphic design theory classes
tutorials using Procreate for the iPad
possibly some watercolour painting classes (my preferred medium!)
art career development courses (with fun homework!)

But is there something missing from this list? Specific things you'd like to learn from me? I would love to hear about it! Feel free to leave a comment on this post on Skillshare, or reach out to me on social media - my Instagram handle is @luckysprout.studio, where you can also see my artwork :)

This year was a big one for my art business, as I expanded my product lines in my online store and with wholesale customers, and also grew my artist YouTube channel! If you've enjoyed talking classes with me and want to listen to me yap about art in a less formal setting, you might enjoy watching me there, too. You can find my channel here, or just search for "Rebecca Wilson" on YouTube.

I'm excited for what 2025 will hold for all of us, especially from a creative perspective. It has been such an honour to connect with you all this year and to see your amazing class projects, to chat with you in the discussions, and to see your "I'm from Skillshare!" messages on other platforms, too!

I hope you'll continue to try new things, explore your creativity, and keep showing up for yourself as the seasons change. Sending you all my best wishes, and looking forward to teaching you again in the near future! Don't be a stranger! :)

- Rebecca
