What our students say about our teachers
I really enjoyed Zuzana’s class. She helped me develop a concept for a project and gave me the push I needed to get started. I am sure it’s gonna take a while to get it done, but I know now what I want to do and how to continue. I felt that Zuzana has been genuinely interested in everyone’s work and I appreciated her feedback and tips.
—Birgit (Zurich)
Thank you for guiding us down the Surrealism path. I had fun and enjoyed the course — I will be revisiting the “tool box” to feel more comfortable with Surrealism! I look forward to taking another class with you in the future.
—Alan (Minnesota)
Edward is a lovely person who gives his time and skills generously and is committed to maximizing the results of the book or zine. It was exciting to start the class knowing nothing about InDesign and to end with a book at the printers! Thank you Edward!
—Ilene (New York City)
Thank you so much! Learned so much so quickly!
—Tina (New Orleans)
I truly enjoyed this course! Erin did a wonderful job at providing us with an overview of landscape photography through the readings, artists she referenced, and assignments. It was also really nice to see everyone’s work and engage in conversation. Erin’s course pushed me to think more deeply about the elements of a photograph.
—Nancy (The Bronx)
