New York Academy of Art

This class is amazing. I've taken it twice and can't wait to take it again. Watching the demos is just mesmerizing.

Before this class I tried to teach myself and failed miserably. The instructor helped us all with a very well thought out game plane for adding new information throughout the 6 weeks. Now instead of having a very expensive paperweight I have the tools to create some serious art on the iPad. I highly recommend this class!

It was a difficult experience. Marcelo is a wonderful Artist however the virtual experience was difficult and hard to navigate. I want to give him credit for trying to handle it, but/and perhaps it was a little fast with not a lot of hands on help individually. He stated he had a lot of students (80 I think he said). And maybe that’s too many optimally. I’m an older student with strong drawing skills but found myself floundering.

Really fun and informative Sessions.

Fantastic teacher. Very thorough explanation and critiques are always actionable.

Art classes should not be held on line. That should be in real life with the teacher Nothing matches the experience of in real life teaching Quality was not the same and I love my teacher, but once in went on line we should have been given a discount for the remaining lessons

This was a great class! Great to have two teachers, so that everyone could get guidance. Definitely recommend and will be taking it again! Do wish it was a little smaller in terms of the number of students. But otherwise, I learned so much from Jesse and Cynthia, they were amazing. They each have there own way of doing things, which at first can be a bit confusing. But in the long run, I think it's really beneficial because you get two different methods & two different design eyes to guide you. I learned so much in this class and was shocked at how much progress I made in the end!

I can tell the Ms. Fukushima is very knowledgeable and an amazing artist! But it doesn't necessarily translate to teaching well. I did learn some water color techniques in the class and her demonstrations were great! I felt like she spent too much time individually with other students. Often this meant a "beginner" such as myself being stuck for 30 minutes without help, not knowing how to proceed next. I'd only recommend it if you have some experience with water color & are more looking for some guidance or additional help. If you have a good understanding of color theory and know some basic water color techniques. Enough so that you can paint on your own while you wait for the teacher to make the rounds.

The teacher was excellent; he was very patient and extremely talented and knew his subject matter very well. He was very supportive and very helpful and gave all of us individual attention and guidance.

Amazing course with amazing teacher! Learned so much! Thank you!
