“How can it be that I have been continuously enrolling in Pat Kelly's classes for at least 6 years, and yet; I still pick up something new in every class? A great teacher that recognizes what each student needs at that moment - Pat Kelly is THAT!”
“I would create another category higher than excellent. Truly outstanding. Pat’s embracing of the new Zoom format has shown her depth and breadth of knowledge, and commitment to teaching even more fully. I feel fully mentored by a MASTER! Considering the format is completely new, I feel that Pat Kelly is continuously working hard to master and extend the usefulness of it. I think that she has been able to impart her knowledge - especially that which is important and understandable by advanced painters more effectively in a group setting with this format because of being able to bring in lots of additional resource materials to the presentation. Also, she can bring resources into her presentations that are specific to each student’s projects and cover a lot of material by having the students send her photos of their work prior to the class. She is also digitally annotating student works as we watch to illustrate ideas for improving our paintings.”
“Pat Kelly is an amazing and incredibly generous teacher, sharing her wealth of knowledge gained from a lifetime of painting. Pat’s teaching style is even better with her dedication to mastering the Zoom/Powerpoint formats to present art history and technical information and to critique our works very effectively. With this online format, every participant may learn from each person’s work as well as from connections to the Masters in her presentations. For the middle to advanced student especially, the learning curve has reached new heights through Pat Kelly’s mastery of this new teaching tool.”
