Class Experience
Drawing is the most valuable visual arts skill and is needed for all artistic disciplines. This course is perfect for beginner adult students looking for a strong foundation, it’s a great skill for anyone working in film, graphic design, the fashion industry, or those who work digitally. Learn to use perspective, understand shape language, create proper proportions, shade on an accurate value scale, and draw from observation. Each class builds confidence in students' technical skills and hand-eye coordination.

How energetic Reed was about everything we were learning and how easy he made everything make sense.
Improvements:
I know it’s already tight on time but maybe going along with the drawing people lessons if there was also a brief part on how to draw animals as well.

Thanks, Bryce! Reed is overjoyed with your review :) The summer semesters are a bit shorter than our fall/winter/spring ones, so we can absolutely delve into drawing animals in the longer (9-week) semesters (and we're running a 20% off any full semester sale until August 10!)! Looking forward to seeing you soon!

Good review of the basics with a nice balance of instruction and practice time. The instructor, Tyler, kept everything well-paced giving us enough variety in 2 hrs without moving to quickly. He also came around and gave pointers on how to improve to each individual. I also love that everything was provided and that we were able to take the practices & our work home. The space was comfortable.

Excellent class and projects. My daughter had a great time and really liked the teachers.
Improvements:
Based on what my daughter said there wasn’t a ton of room for creativity- she felt like she had to stick to the way the teacher said to do the projects.
