Anonymous Student Course Evaluations  

Students consistently mention that the serious atmosphere in the classroom is infectious.  And that although their struggles, uncertainties and mistakes are visible to all, they feel respected, safe and encouraged.


"It got better and better, I liked trying different mediums and techniques. Most useful: tones."

"The class was extremely interesting and well taught - more so than I had originally thought.  I now draw better than I had ever dreamed.  The ink wash didn't really help me that much."

"Pace was great.  Most useful: different techniques/mediums AND structural work."

"This has been the best art course I've taken ever, I learned far beyond what I expected.  Wonderful structure."

"I have more interests in drawing a person than before. It taught me to observe the object exactly. Most useful: learning about body structures because they are really an important point to draw a person."

"Structure is just perfect! Most useful: the slow process of the steps that she taught us in creating a drawing of the body."

"I hated drawing people then I took this class and now I find myself doing gesture drawings on the train. I can draw a face! Structure perfect."

"The only problem I had was because I'm a slow drawer. Pace appropriate, clear planning. Most useful: beginning structure drawings, because they made all the other drawings easier."

"Everyone improved on drawing GOOD human figures. I made the improvements I had hoped for. Structure very good, appropriate pace, clear planning. Most useful: straight line drawing, I don't know why, but they helped everyone produce better pieces. I do not like blind contour drawing."

"I hope we can use more color b/c it's helpful to express our emotions in art."

"This was my second time in this course. For some reason, I didn't improve as much as I had in the previous course."

"It's a great course -- she is the MOST clear teacher I've ever had. I learned a lot but did not reach my personal goals. Most helpful: starting from the inside - because it helps you become fluent in the figure. Gesture was too easy."

"Most useful: inner structure teaching. How to go from the inner form & frame then to outer."

"I had a hard time with the ink."

"At the beginning of this course I couldn't even draw a cartoon character. Now I am on my way to drawing life realistically. This class has made me aware of my talents and I'm sure it would do the same for any other motivated student."

"Because the class started with basics and grew, it was easy for me to understand, follow and take time to do what I was doing. My work at the end would not have been possible before the class."

"Overall, the course was helpful, although I sometimes didn't see the point of an exercise, I realize now how all the lessons integrated to better my understanding of the figure."
