I really liked the camaraderie in the class between the instructor and students that have taken several of Sarah's classes, who was really nice. That said, I went to this class as it included this description "We will study grace and symmetry of the human form through a variety of media. By observing the figure through various poses, we will cover the basics of anatomy and proportion." We didn't really get an instruction on symmetry, proportion or anatomy. We just free drew or painted without instruction or guidance, except for looking at what other students had done. I didn't learn anything I had hoped to, but I did enjoy having a couple of hours of painting and drawing with a live model. Next time I'll save the $40 and just do it at home.

I honestly feel that watching a YouTube video about basic photography skills might've provided more clear information. Unfortunately, I found our teacher to be incredibly scattered, unstructured and unable to articulate clearly the skills he was attempting to teach. We "learned" about shutter speed, aperture, ISO, for what feels like the entire time. That should've been one class - learn what each is and play around with it on your own. Then we transitioned into editing (where only one person in the class had Photoshop) and basically watched the instructor click around for 30 minutes in the program that no one had. A waste of time frankly. I suppose I was hoping for more of a stylistic look at photography...the rule of thirds, framing, composition, etc. In the end, while using manual mode on a DSLR camera is cool, and understanding shutter speed & aperture is great, I can bet that majority of the class will resort to Auto mode and move on with their lives.

Sara is a fantastic teacher. She is helpful and encouraging, as well as able to see the student's blind spots. Will continue taking classes from her.

I thought the class was fantastic! The teacher was excellent in her demonstrations and teaching method. It was so nice to do a project start to finish in one clas. Thank you

very informative and fun. excellent instructor

I enrolled in “Drawing for Beginners” because I wanted to learn a few tips that might help me learn to draw. Instead, we were just told to draw items. I could have saved the money and stayed home.

Yes!! It’s was great!! I’m sorry for delay I was under the weather......

The class was pretty cool. Teacher has loads of information and experience.

I was a wonderful experience for our whole group!

The class was in a very uncomfortable setting. The instructor started the class over 4 times because of extremely late people walking in. It was disappointing to sit there for 3 hours before even getting a drink. If the additional $25 was for “lab supplies” they were very lacking. Instructor did not have enough supplies for everyone in the class and it was very low quality alcohol by the instructors own admission.
