Visual Arts Brampton
How do Visual Arts Brampton's online programs work?
All online programs will be taught using Zoom, a remote video conferencing service used by many educational institutions. It allows students to virtually interact with our instructors and their fellow students through live audio and video.
What do I need to access online programs through Zoom?
To access programs through Zoom, students will need to have:
- A computer (with a microphone and camera), smartphone or tablet (iPad, Samsung Galaxy, etc.).
- A high speed internet connection.
- The Zoom Cloud Meetings application installed on your device from the App/Google Play store or Zoom.us website.
- The link to your Zoom session.
What else is needed to participate?
We ask that students also have:
- A workspace that is quiet and free of distractions to learn and create in.
- The materials required for the program. Material lists are available on the individual program information pages.
How do I sign on to the session?
Before your program begins, our staff will email you a link to access the Zoom session. Please sign on to the session at least 15 minutes before the program is scheduled to begin. This will allow you to settle in and address any technical issues.
Please ensure you have the link in your email before the program begins. If you have not received the link, contact us.

Staff will be available during the session to support students with technical issues. For technical support prior to the first session, please contact us.
