Students in the Beginner's Drawing class at the MET praised the knowledgeable and helpful instructors, mentioning that they received step-by-step instructions and guidance throughout the class. The opportunity to draw in the beautiful museum setting was also appreciated. Overall, the most insightful quotes came from students who had positive experiences and felt they learned techniques for shading, contouring, and proportion. Insightful Quotes: - "The instructor was able to help me teach me some techniques of shading and contouring. In general, I thought it was a great, informal class for a beginner or someone who is looking to draw for fun or hobby." - "The techniques she shared were conceptually very easy to understand. Using them practically took a minute or two to grasp but overall the class was great." - "Zoey was an incredible teacher. She is very attentive and helpful to students of all levels.
