“…the teacher amazingly works well with all levels of artists – she sees where we are in our journeys and helps us grow from there. She offers suggestions and feedback that help us think about our piece in new ways, but doesn’t pressure us to make changes unless we think it’s what’s best for the piece. She teaches us to make good decisions in our art, she teaches us skills and techniques, she gives us so many artists and techniques to explore as inspiration, and she creates a great atmosphere for us to critique each others’ work in – in a way that helps us grow and learn. I tried so many new techniques and concepts this semester, and I’ve grown so much.”
