Your Journey Through the Course:

Julia's approach is hands-on, ensuring you don't just watch but also actively participate in learning. Here's how you should navigate through this course:

1. First Watch: Consume the class content from beginning to end to understand the context and scope of the course.
2. Pause and Engage: Re-watch the videos, pausing as needed to complete short exercises that reinforce your learning.
3. Project Time: Once you feel ready, apply what you've learned by creating a bespoke sketch lighting plan for a room in your home.

Tips for Success:

Allow 2-3 study days for this course. Remember, an experienced lighting designer might spend a full day on a single scheme. Take your time, and give yourself the opportunity to fully absorb each lesson before moving on to the next. This approach will yield the best outcomes and ensure that you use light effectively to transform your living space!

📅 Timeline: Keep in mind, surveying your space, completing exercises, and drafting your lighting plan will require ample time—a couple of hours for the survey and several more for the 'painting with light' exercises or your sketch lighting plan.
