It was good
Noice
great course
Great Resource!!
This is a great resource for teachers and students! Students can increase their art skills and knowledge outside the classroom. They can focus on specific areas or take the whole course. Language Arts teachers can greatly benefit from this program as they guide students who wish to illustrate their stories.
Fun Project
Loved having this extra resource to enhance my curriculum! The added bonus was having a career illustratior come into the classroom as well as having access to this course 24/7. Students could move throughout the course at their own pace, gave them a glimpse of what taking an online course involves and have face to face instruction from an talented illustrator/artist. Win, win!

It was fun!
I really enjoyed taking this course having visits in the classroom and giving advice on my painting that I could do at my own pace. I also really like how it was a one on one activity that I could do this course throughout the school year.
I really liked this course because we got to do our own projects and it felt really good to accomplish something that was worth a lot. Chris really helped me when I was stuck on a certain part of my painting and overall it was a great project and course!!
