Welcome, everyone, to the new Digital Art Academy. We’ve been hard at work for the past few months to improve the site for you all and make the experience a a lot richer and easier.

There are a ton of new features including:

  1. Redesigned Interface
  2. Global Gravatar support
  3. Global “Sticky” Navigation
  4. Personalized Student Menu with quick access links
  5. Reorganization of the main site sections
  6. New and improved course catalog
  7. Tabbed course descriptions
  8. Student Blogs – use this feature to share your work with other students
  9. Image display resizing in case you forget to resize
  10. Real buttons in forum topics
  11. Multiple image attachments in class forums (max. 5 attachments per post)

Of course there’s more – navigate around and see if you can find everything. The site as a whole should be a lot easier to use.

As with any brand new site, you may run into a bug we didn’t catch during our private beta test. Please feel free to report those to us using the contact form (please do not put bug reports in the comments section, but do let us know what you think!). Also, don’t be surprised if things change from time to time as we continue to add enhancements. This giant first step is only that – the first step – in the continued growth at DAA.

With that – have fun exploring! Registration for Session 5 classes is officially open.
