Reviews of Evanston Art Center
-
Garment Making Basics
Instructor communicated well and was knowledgeable. -
Screen Printing
I had a great experience in the screen printing class! Duff is a great instructor who is very knowledgeable and always kind and helpful. The environment he's curated there is very supportive and welcoming to everyone enrolled. I'd recommend Duff's class to anyone wanting to learn screen printing. -
Intro to Darkroom Photography
I really enjoyed the class, I feel like Brenan was very kind and effectively showed us how to develop our photos. I liked the cadence of the class, and Brenan's instruction was very flexible and catered to each student well -
Turn a Bowl in a Day
The class was well organized and a lot of fun. Bob is very knowledgeable and hopeful. Would highly recommend! -
Pen & Ink Watercolor
Great teacher. The space is also wonderful. Love the brightly lit room and going to class in a building filled with art. -
Metalsmithing Techniques for Jewelry
The Instructor Kathy Cunningham was great! She is patient and always willing to help and full of knowledge willing to share all she knows. -
Introduction to Observational Drawing
On a scale of 1-10 I would say it was 6, the teacher was great, I love the facility and room, I just wish I had more people my age that attended it was mostly filled with people with at least a 30 year age gap so it was hard to relate to anyone. -
Bookbinding: Basics & Beyond
Jamie is a great teacher. Enjoyed the class and learned a lot. -
Watercolors: Materials, Composition & Technique
Couldn’t be happier with this class. Great pace. Great teacher. Love that there is free parking! -
Introduction to Perspective Drawing
Duffy is an engaging instructor and the class is thorough and relaxed. Learned what I was hoping to and had a chance to practice it. -
Screen Printing
Duffy O’Connor conducts this screen printing class with an abundance of patience and is an excellent creative resource. I really enjoy this class and find the other students to be a great deal of fun and always willing to provide assistance. -
Pen & Ink Watercolor
Pen, Ink and Watercolor has proven a wonderful art experience encompassing teaching of technique, skill and medium as well as sharing up to date information on the current art world. Michelle Kogan is a notable teacher and artist, supportive of student growth and experimentation. I have signed on again for another session. -
Beginning Mosaics
I was not really satisfied with instructor. She was a perfectly nice person, but really did little instruction, which I get that more advanced folks don’t need - they are basically doing parallel art time and paying to be in a studio with their supplies. It would have been great to learn more about approaches and intent with using different shapes, styles and colors of glass, but she only showed us some images where we had to crowd around her laptop to see and that was it. There were others more advanced in the class and she could have used their projects as examples to the beginners to talk about approaches and techniques. Felt pretty much on our own and she would make rounds 1-2 in class to check on us. Did not send supply list ahead of class - which I also think should be made clear upon registering that you will have to invest more money in tools and glass. I think the EAC should supply enough tools to share. All to say, I don’t think I will keep up with this art form and if I do, probably won’t go back to EAC or just do this on my own. -
Make Anything You Want with 3D Printer
Great class, excellent instructor -
3D Printing from Start to Finish
The Instructer was very helpful I am glad I took the class -
Screen Printing
Duffy was very informative, and patient. He was able to answer all my questions and more. Highly recommend this class to any artist trying to learn another way to display there art! -
Beginning Jewelry
While, the instructor was very sweet and offered to help with any projects we the students wanted to create, there was 0 structure to the class. Most of the other students just did there own thing because they've taken classes there before and were basically just using the class to use the facilities. I was hoping for a much more structured environment where every session we had an assignment which taught us how to use different equipment and techniques. Potentially this would create at least a handful of different pieces showcasing different machines and styles. This was sadly not the case. Again, she was a very nice person-very approachable and was willing to work with you on whatever project you chose to do but having no experience I did not know what projects I could of potentially undertaken. -
Mixed Media Encaustic Painting
Good pace. Easy to understand. -
Comics & Cartooning (Ages 9-11)
I truly enjoyed 6 wks learning more & increase my ability. I am hoping to taping into more in drawing . I to thank my grandma for giving me the opportunity & the price was right to. Thank you Mario Townsend Jr -
Pen & Ink & Watercolor
I just didn't enjoy this class. The teacher was fine but I didn't like the approach. I didn't go to the last 2 classes.
