I had the most wonderful time in this class. Low commitment, high reward. Elizabeth is an amazing teacher and made the whole experience easy and positive. I was skeptical when I signed up for this class because it was virtual but I don’t think that had any negative affect! Would (and might) do again!

I thoroughly enjoyed this class because I learned about diverse aspects of drawing -- shading, perspective, form, contrast -- in a profound and accessible way. Clare and Alexis are excellent instructors -- informative, compassionate and enthusiastic. They offer the kind of encouragement that makes us look forward to the next class. Thank you so much inspiring me to take more courses in drawing. I would love to take a course at the Met, and especially at the Cloisters, if you offer instruction in the venue. Warm wishes, Elizabeth Gorski New York City www.crosswordnation.com

Attended: Beginners Watercolor Painting: How to Paint Tree

Class was great. Painting techniques were broken down into easily understandable movements we watched and then practiced on 3 different trees. Variation welcomed and feedback on each of our pieces. Really worthwhile.

Attended: Beginners Intro to Mixed Media, Painting & Collage Art

Reasonably good introduction to mixed media. Positive teacher but could include more technical information for students.

The class at the MET with teacher Jordin was wonderful. Jordin was very informative and patient with any requests from the students. It was also great to visit new galleries throughout the course to learn more about the Museum while learning new skills.
