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.

Wonderful introduction to basic principles of drawing. Reed synthesized the material in a way easy to understand, and was encouraging and supportive. The atmosphere of the studio is both stimulating and relaxing. I learned so much during the semester.

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.

Response from Creatively Wild Art Studio
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.
