Review
“Jody,
A big thanks for your guidance over the past couple of terms while I undertook ‘Life Drawing’ in 2015. The wide range of media used were accessible to everyone along with your thought provoking ideas to encourage students, like myself, to think outside the box. What I would have dismissed before the course I now look at through open eyes. You certainly are inclusive of all students in the class and I enjoyed the ‘down to earth’ approach to art in general.
I really look forward to doing another course with you.
Thanks once again.
Margaret Briggs”
Workshop Reviews
Thanks for last lesson, I had a great time with the excellent model. I really needed the break to do something that is “Me” after a very exhausting month. Thanks for all the encouragement regarding my drawings 🙂 I am very impressed with how attuned you are to all your students and your great investment intellectually, emotionally and creatively in the class, it’s very inspiring. It’s really nice to be in a supportive and caring artistic environment with relatively low pressure, without the stress of the art world or the pressures of academia… To just get immersed in the process and enjoy the time. It really filled “my batteries” last weekend.
Na’ama Atzmon-Simon – Art teacher
I loved the pace of the day,……… not a minute to waste.
Your inspirational work together with your effective communication skills made for a very positive experience.
Many thanks once again.
