I am going to miss 1-2 classes. How do I make them up? Almost every student misses classes now and then.

Do I need to purchase materials? We provide the materials for the in-studio classes, there is no need to bring anything. However, it might be a good idea to purchase some art materials for practice at home. Online students neeed to purchase materials for their classes.

I took the Academic Drawing class with Luka. As someone who has always liked drawing but never felt like I had the fundamentals down, I felt it was the perfect fit! The class is well-paced and slowly scales up the complexity of the projects until you're surprised by what you were able to draw. Luka is a wonderful and attentive teacher who has a masterful eye on what could be improved that really made all the difference in my projects and helped me progress. He clearly has a passion for art teaching that shines through.

I joined Art School at SF bay for the Adult drawing class...

I must say I thoroughly enjoyed every day of the course. Was also able to learn quite a few complex concepts and was pleasantly surprised to see the art work I made at the end of the class...

I could make good progress with my skill set and am more confident about it than before.

Highly recommend!

Just finished taking Academic Drawing with Andrew. I have no experience whatsoever in drawing and always wanted to learn. In each class, we have learned different skills and techniques. Andrew is a really patient and great teacher. By the end of all 14 classes, i was able to draw landscapes, folds, and plaster heads and was able to learn bout shading and basic drawing techniques. It has been a great class, and I would like to continue learning about drawing.
