Welcome to Wire Frame University, the Interactive On-Line Art School.

WFU is not accredited by anyone. You can't get a degree here or transfer credits anywhere, but you can have fun and learn many things you would normally have to pay someone to teach you.

The classes are designed to be fun, educational, and accessible to students of all ages. Each class has several modules that should take from 10 to 20 minutes to complete. The Lab modules will take considerably longer depending on your system speed.
 

Classes

A test is provided at the end of each module. Answer each question then click on "Answers" at the bottom of the test to display the correct answers. 

You don't have to complete a test to continue to the next module. The tests are for your information only, you can skip any or all of them if you wish.
