Restarting the Spriting Academy?

[Pokemon Trainer Sarah]

Well I figured the level one classes would probably be quite basic and easy anyway. If you already knew how to do it, you would just whip up something quickly and post it to get certified. You could also have maybe "Elective" classes at each tier which you didn't need to do to move on to the next tier, but which you could do if you wanted. Like say tier one classes are something like this:

Tier One
-Basic Recolouring [Core]
-Splicing [Core]
-Basic Shading [Core]
-Pillow Shading [Elective]
-Chocolate Pokemon [Elective]
-Neon Pokemon [Elective]

Tier Two
Must have completed Tier One Core Classes, plus 1 Elective
-Blah
-Blah
-Blah
-Blah


I made up those names but yeah, you get the idea. xD If there are electives, that leaves room for heaps of different kinds of tutorials for different teachers to make up, including recolouring with different palettes or shading in different ways or whatever. Stuff that might not be a necessary skill to move on, but could be fun, different techniques to learn.

There could also possibly be an option to skip tiers maybe, like for first tier there would be a final exam that involves creating a sprite using techniques learned in first tier classes. You could still try it if you hadn't completed the classes maybe? I dunno. I kind of like the idea of having to complete all the classes to move on, but yeah. xD

An art one sounds good too, but it might be best to focus on one at a time. Once the spriting one is up and we have worked out all the kinks, it could be expanded to other sections. :)
