In regards to the question about how to sift through the online art ed resources and find the right ones for you, I sometimes recommend my students do this:
Build an Instagram tree of favorite art resources. Start with an artist you really admire, and check who they follow. Do this quickly...tap on the followed accounts and scroll just once or twice down their page. Look for strong visual content near the top of the page. If it's not awesome, go back and try another. If you really like it, follow that artist. Do this fast without thinking too much.
I try to find accounts that have consistently strong content, and you can tell this without digging too long. I would avoid inconsistent accounts or ones with a lot of ads and graphics and lifestyle content.
Spend an hour or two doing this every couple days. Soon your feed will be filled with great artists, and you'll begin to notice things like when they offer classes, or who they are learning from, and then you'll know to check out those resources in turn.
