Review Summary by CourseHorse

Despite some students feeling that they didn't get as much out of the class due to their lack of art experience, overall the classes at Mixed Media Art were enjoyed by students. Many students were able to learn new skills and techniques in art. They walked away from the class with a better understanding of different art materials and how to use them effectively. Quote: 1. "I learned so much about blending colors and creating textures in my artwork. It was a great experience!"
