Each lesson would be separated by thread. For example, for Freshman "classes," it would theoretically have to be divided into 8 or more threads: Color Theory I, Line Art I, Shading I, Perspective I, Anti-Aliasing, Pixel Art Taboos; and then for the filler classes, Isometric I, Objects I, Overworld, and Pokemon Sprites I. The last four are extra, optional classes.

I will have each of the lessons ready to be posted, but
will actually have them up one at a time. Whenever the first person is ready to move on, the new thread will be posted.

But I digress slightly.

Each lesson thread would consist of what the focus is (likely several paragraphs or a few large ones); excellent tutorials relating to the subject (I will likely take excerpts from some of them--but also provide the links at th end), a default challenge / assignment that the students will need to start on, and most likely the OP will contain more content. That is one thing I still need to think through; however, once I have the first lesson finished I will post it here as a template of sorts to see if you guys think it will be effective.

Ideally, each student would submit their finished challenge as a post in the corresponding lesson thread. A mentor would provide constructive criticism and will make the ultimate decision as to whether they think the student is ready to move on or needs more practice. Constructive criticism includes describing what was done wrong, what could be done to improve it, and likely how to improve it. However, on the subject of a student passing or staying in a course is ultimately up to the head mentor(s). There are no grades and failing simply does not exist.

Perhaps on the entrance exam I could also include a question relating to the learning style of the student submitting.

Thank you for bringing up these questions; if I wasn't clear, let me know! ^^

Unfortunately, I'm not sure exactly what you're talking about here. Think you could clarify a bit? :>

@Mr. Nyan
I'm not necessarily planning on Livestreaming, simply because my internet doesn't have the capability to host a steady Livestream. Not even on join.me will it probably work. But I will think about using screenshots, if not even videos, if I need to explain something to someone in greater detail. I actually found an awesome program the other day that was made for the sole intention of being used with pixel art. Otherwise, I have really no experience with Youtube or recording / uploading videos at all. I honestly think pixel art is best with screenshots instead of recordings because of the fact that Youtube diminishes the quality of the video so that it's difficult to view individual pixels / pixel clusters. I would at least need something that is crisp and concise but not too excruciating for a network with an average speed to download / upload / stream.
