(You don't need to start with Fodder School 1, but if you want the full creative experience, you have that option too!)
Join a thriving community of over 27,000 artists who have already experienced the magic of our Fodder Challenges. Be inspired alongside 5,000 dedicated artists who have transformed their creativity through our year-long Fodder School experiences.
Each month of Fodder School features a new, inspiring instructor.

- On the fifteenth of the month, a series of "Use Fodder" lessons becomes available.
Expect surprise bonus lessons throughout the month to add interesting twists and educational insights about the month's topics. Fodder School courses are "living courses" until their delivery is complete.
Once a month, we gather on Zoom for our LoveFest to share the Fodder School love. If you can't make it, don't worry—a recording will be available in the classroom.
Every day, connect with fellow artists in our optional private Facebook group and the Teachable classroom to share your work and ask questions.

Can you guess the Instructors?
We'll be announcing the names of the fabulous FC2024/FS4 teachers beginning on August 1, 2024 and ending on August 26th. Can you guess who they are?
Can I use the Fodder School lesson content to inspire my YouTube or TikTok tutorial videos?
That's a hard no.
There's an endless amount of incredible art tutorial content in every year of Fodder School. For some creatives, it's tempting to want to use Fodder School as a well of inspiration for their own creative enterprise, YouTube channel, brand, etc.
Fodder School is not sold with permission for anyone to use it in this way--specifically, as a source of inspiration for any one's free how-to social media tutorial content, whether that be on YouTube, Instagram, TikTok or any other social media platform.
If you are a creative who loves to share your work with the world, that's wonderful! We love it when participants share their finished collage fodder and finished Fodder School projects in photos and videos on social media. Please tag @fodder.school, the teacher of the month, and use our hashtag.
But making how-to videos of yourself while creating from Fodder School lesson content or obviously inspired and derivative of Fodder School content, and then posting those tutorials on any free social media platform, will get you banned from Fodder School with no refund issued.
When it doubt, please reach out and ask for permission instead of assuming that you aren't violating our boundaries.

What if I can't commit to doing all of the lessons?
There's so much goodness packed into one year of Fodder School that for some people, it can feel like they can't possibly do it all.
No worries! I don't know if anyone can do ALL of the lessons in one year of Fodder School (even I can't do that!)
Pick and choose what you want to do and what you can do-with zero worries. If life gets in the way, pick up with the new month or go back to where you left off-it's totally up to you!
Fodder School has value pricing (maybe even extreme value). You're getting a huge amount of awesome content for the money, but no one should let that stress them out about not keeping up or completing everything.
Do whatever you can and want to do. It's all good!
