(October 2009) About The Art School in Sandy Springs
I love the smaller classes at your school, to be able to get more teacher attention. I have been to the larger classes elsewhere, and am lucky to see the instructor only once in the class time. dh
(September 2009)
Finding The Art School in Sandy Springs gave me an opportunity to fine tune my artistic skills, meet other artists and take classes that improved my skills as well as my confidence. Taking from artists like Donna Thomas, Carrie Schweers, Melody Trivisone, James Richards and Millie Gosch was so inspiring it literally made it hard for me to leave my home studio. I have produced more art this year than in the last 5 years! Now that I am selling my art, I feel, and rightly so, that I have joined the right to say I am a professional artist. I am so pleased to have found this wonderful artist community which inspires me to be my best. KC
About James Richard's workshop (February 2009)
Jim has opened a new world for me. He is masterful in his painting ability and is an incredible instructor. He spends so much time with each student and guides them through the entire process of large landscape painting. He is wonderful! (DT)
About Gary Bodner's workshop (April 2009)
A big thank you to Gary, Melanie, and Donna! I came home from the workshop and took an old painting and punched it out with color. It looked sooo much better! Gary, it must be your profession (OB-GYN) that encouraged us to PUSH ( and we certainly know about stretching ourselves) , but it worked. You make laboring over a blank canvas and birthing a painting fun!! Till we paint again…….(CA)
About Nancy Franke's workshop (April 2009, August 2009)
