    Pamella Allen is such an inspiring instructor. She knows how to elicit the best out of every person at every level. Fabulous class One thing to note, the 92 St Y posted it as 6 classes but it was only 4. Loved it none the less but would have enjoyed more classes with Pamella.

    This was a nice, varied introduction where we explored different mediums and subjects. We experimented with pencil, charcoal, and ink. The instructor, Lagaspi, made the class fun and also offered us flexibility to choose what we wanted to draw in the later classes. I am basically a total beginner and felt that I improved a lot over the course of the four classes.

    I thought that it was a great class. The only think to note is the the title is a bit misleading. It's more of an introduction to various drawing mediums (e.g. pencil, ink, charcoal) than to how to draw.
