FOCUS ON THE FEATURES—ONLINE

“The course is excellent. One component that is especially enjoyable is the lecture at the beginning of each class. Stephanie will present perhaps two dozen examples of artistic styles, some may be great master drawings or paintings, and she will carefully explain the techniques that were used. Often this lecture is related to the subject of that specific class that day. Then she sends us all the images at the end of the day in an email. Zoom enables her to do this kind of lecture very easily and we can really see the colors and details much better than if we were in a live studio. Zoom works very well for her classes. We all adore Stephanie. She is generous in her comments always finding something to praise no matter what a student creates. This bolsters the confidence and enjoyment of attendees. I don't think there could be a better instructor. I have studied with Ken Goldman and Stephanie in live classes at the Athenaeum for about nine years and my progress and skill have improved dramatically.”

“I have now taken ten Zoom classes (not all at the Athenaeum) and find it to be a terrific platform with few problems. It is remarkably consistent and the functionality is great. They have anticipated what people would be looking for and have made it easy to use (for example, the private “conference” rooms). I also work with my private trainer on Zoom now. It is very user-friendly. I am looking forward to joining Ken Goldman’s class which normally causes me to have to drive to Bread and Salt (near Imperial Ave.) and it is sheer joy to now be able to have the same class while sitting at my 27” monitor at my desk with great lighting and not have to leave home! A total win!”

“The Zoom format worked very well. One of the highlights of Stephanie’s classes is the “lecture” she does at the beginning, using works of art to illustrate various techniques and issues. Each week it is different but always great.”

PAINTING & DRAWING THE HUMAN FIGURE—ONLINE

“It is so comfortable working in my own studio and taking a class. I have a large monitor and Zoom has worked out flawlessly. You can click on any of the other participants and see what they are doing and also watch the instructor demos. And no parking issues!”
