“I was interested in the collage class (when it was slated to be offered in person) but could not attend as I live in Long Beach. When it shifted to an online format I was able to join. At first I wondered how we could fill 3 hours of time together on Zoom, but the time flies. We learned new techniques, shared our work (easily done using the Share Screen function), and spent time collaging in real time. The online format also allowed other artists to join our class to talk about their work, something that would have been difficult to accomplish if we met in person as many artists don’t live locally or would not have been able to make the trip to the studio. Doing the class online also allowed us to see “inside” the artists’ studio. We were able to see Sybil’s studio and the ways she organizes her work space. Other positives include no commute time, a relaxing environment where we all had access to our own tools at home. I’m a big fan of the online class. Keep them coming as I will continue to register!”
