Archive of student’s course feedback and reviews from almost every course delivered by Creative Art Courses since 2012
“Wonderful experience. Loved every minute of it. I look forward to attending more courses in the future.” Hannah F A great course to teach that supports students in gaining the skills to observe objects more accurately and really understand the form and structure in order to render objects more accurately and realistically. Loads of techniques […]
“Everything I needed to know to get going at home.” Polly K For various reasons this was an unusually small group of students. However, we have been used to working with smaller groups during the pandemic and the weekend was very successful. The students were new to painting and to acrylic paints so this was […]
“Good introduction to a variety of techniques – for novices a good way to get rid of fear. Eileen W I always enjoy teaching this popular course. Supporting students and having the opportunity to lay down solid foundations for students looking to develop and improve their creative skills is an honour and a privilege. I […]
It has more than met my expectations. {my course highlights were] feeling freed up from ‘shoulds’ and ‘not good enough’.” Hazel B What a fabulously creative and inspiring way to start the New Year and not only that – every Monday morning for 10 weeks with a good dose of art to inspire. It was […]
“I’ve gained basic understanding of art elements. It was more informative than I had expected.” Kasia C A wonderful 6 weeks teaching and supporting a lovely group of students. Everyone offered support to each other and great friendships developed over the course. The course offers important insights into the Art Elements of line, tone, colour, […]
“Definitely recommend. There has been so much to think about and definite inspiration and starting points.” Lucie D I love teaching this course as it is based on the book ‘The Creative Eye’ by Heather Spears – a book that has had a profound influence on my thinking and approach to drawing. The exercises and […]
It was a perfect balance of education and practical time. Claire C The students approached the portrait painting tasks with enthusiasm and produced impressive results. As usual, each student had their own unique style but, by the end of the Saturday sessions, we had a diverse range of amazing expressive portraits, some sensitively executed, some […]
“Exceeded my expectations – I feel creatively unblocked, Thank you.” Jenny C It was a wonderful weekend embroiled with the fun, playful ambiguities of making abstract art. What I like teaching about this course is trying to give students a strong understanding of the ‘mechanics’ of how abstract art works so they can confidently go […]
“Exceeded my expectations. I was nervous before but I really relaxed from the beginning.” Paul C I enjoyed teaching this wonderful group of students who showed such determination to make the most of the teaching and try out all the new approachess to drawing and all the different materials and techniques I introduced to them. […]
“It was a lovely evening. I studied Fine Art in the past and it was like having a masterclass about an artist.” Rocio P A fabulous evening workshop introducing people to the reasons Cezanne was such an influential artist at the beginning of the 20th century. I enjoy teaching these workshops as they blend a […]
The course has completely met my expectations and I am now totally motivated to do acrylics at home.” Sue J With the winding down of Covid restrictions, this was a larger group of students than I have been used to for a while. They were all very keen to learn about acrylic painting and worked hard […]
“Do it! I’ve learnt how to look and measure. Confidence.” Ruth C I love teaching this course and was overjoyed to have 10 willing students along for the ride! The most amazing thing about this course is how it teaches students to improve their looking and seeing with a logical approach to drawing and a […]
“Great experience! Learned a lot about drawing. Its amazing.” Limo H Great to be back in the studio again for the start of what hopes to be a wonderful new year. Really happy to have a full studio again interacting with students and to watch the group dynamics and friendships develop over the weekend. The […]
I wanted to ‘learn to draw’ but that was completely turned on it’s head. Instead I have learnt to see.” Joanne G It’s always inspiring to meet a new group of students and guide them to a new way of thinking and approach to drawing. The course is both about reframing students’ attitudes to what […]
“Great experience, leant how to use colour and shape in a more artistic way – learnt a lot.” Tyrone R It was fun to be teaching my Modern Master series again – this time focussing on Matisse. Students listened with interest to the theory bit outlining all that Matisse brought to the artworld and finding […]
