Most of you currently or have offered paid mentorships to students. This is clearly an appealing option to art school for many reasons. I'm curious to know what are the minimum level of pre-developed skill is best to bring before starting one of these mentorships? This is something that I don't really see listed by potential mentors. Will you take anyone and work with where they are, or recommend a certain amount of self-education first? I'm very curious about what is best to maximize the experience for both you and the student.

Any updates on Marshall’s perspective course? For the meantime. If you had to choose, what is the one beginner perspective course or book you recommend?
