HOW IT WORKS
How does the Master Classes Works?
CG | Master Academy [CGMA] - is an online Academy dedicated to helping artists develop and cultivate their creative talents. CGMA run four terms a year, each term there are a variety of classes to choose from. At CGMA we allow you to pay per individual class allowing you financial flexibility.
The length of one course is of 8 weeks, plus you will be given an extra week to review the whole course at the end of the term. The complete access to the course will be of 9 weeks. When you complete 6 out the 8 assignments by the end of the course you will receive a certificate of completion.
Each week you will expect to have the following format:
- Starting each week you will gain access to a full video lecture from your instructor along with an assignment description (click below for quick sample video from instructor Michael Hampton class).

- Assignment will be due by the end of the week (click below for sample image).

- After assignment submission Instructor will provide individual feedback to each student in a video or visual mark up format (example below from instructor Michael Hampton class).

- The week will be finished by a live Q and A with your instructor, which will be recorded (click below for sample video from instructor Michael Hampton class). In the event that you are not able to attend it due to time difference or any other personal matter, you can contact your instructor 24 hours prior to the Q&A with the question of your choice by email. The instructor should be able to address the question during the Q&A and you will see the response by watching the recorded video of the Q&A which is posted a couple of days after the date of the session.

If you submit 80% of the assignments (6 weeks) on time by the end of the course you will qualify for a Certificate of Completion from CGMA for the Course Taken. In order to get a Program Certificate which is more advanced you have to: A) complete all of the courses in the chosen program or B) complete at least 8 of its courses comprising mostly of the advanced classes (portfolio submission needed for option b). Coming soon CGMA will be offering additional Character and Environment Designs Tracks</p>
