The teacher has been key, not only did she teach us the skills but she made us think about what we were doing and inspired each or us to develop our own vision.

The class has given me the opportunity to develop my skills and see which direction I wanted to take my creativity. The demonstrations were inspiring and the group has been helpful with positive critique.Working towards a final project has given me structure with some flexibility.
