* Learn from celebs on Masterclass
* Classes include learning basketball from Stephen Curry
* Courses are easy to use and work with any schedule
Masterclass just announced their latest course: Judd Apatow Teaches Comedy. It’s yet another incredible offering from Masterclass, which has a collection of various classes taught by industry experts and celebrities like Stephen Curry, Marc Jacobs, Gordon Ramsay, and more.
Besides managing to get better (and more famous) teachers than any university, Masterclass has also designed an intuitive way to participate in the class and learn the material at home. Along with the video lectures, you get class workbooks and a student community that collaborates to provide each other feedback (sorry, Judd Apatow isn’t going to read your script). It also allows you to work as little or as much as you have time for, so you can work on your own time.
Here’s some of the best courses offered on Masterclass:
1. Frank Gehry Teaches Architecture and Design
Vanity Fair has labeled Frank Gehry as “the most important architect of our age,” and his buildings are cited as some of the most important works in modern architecture. Some of his most famous buildings include the Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles and 8 Spruce Street in New York. Needless to say, he’s the guy to learn architecture from. Even if you’re never going to be an architect, hearing his wisdom is worth everyone’s time.
