Adobe Illustrator: Training for Everyone
Can't say enough great stuff about this class! Certainly got my money's worth and much more. Gregory Frank is a terrific instructor - extremely patient and explains the process of each exercise very thoroughly. He goes around one-on-one throughout the class to make sure each person is understanding the steps as we go through them. You will never feel "left behind." I was pleasantly shocked with how much we learned in the 2-day class. Because our class size was small, we even covered elements of Illustrator not laid out in the description - Bezier curves and creating text. Even if you have had no exposure to Adobe Photoshop or Illustrator in the past, Gregory Frank explains things in such a way that you can complete the exercises and feel very satisfied about what you learned. -

Intro to Drawing Class • Safe In-Studio
This was the most amazing experience! I’ve been looking for an art class for years and never found one that “fit” until now! Although I have been drawing for several years, I’ve never taken a drawing class. This class starts at the most fundamental level, which is what I’d been hoping to find. The instructor is also amazing and it was so cool to see what other students are creating! The ambiance in the classroom was also perfect for creativity! -

I really enjoyed the way the instructor walked us through two drawing projects - one in graphite and one in oil pastels - every session, so we could really experience the two different styles of drawing. It was great fun, and introduced me to all different aspects of drawing I had never tried before. I highly recommend this class! -
Intro to Drawing Class • Safe In-Studio
This class was not what I was expecting because I thought we were going to be learning to use graphite sticks. To my surprise, all materials were provided, and it was actually a very basic beginners class in graphite pencil drawing that taught me some very valuable skills and history. I have been drawing my whole life and have taken many art classes, but these techniques were still new to me and very useful in improving my drawing skills. It went by fast, but I had a wonderful time. -
