    Very straightforward , which is great. You got an instructer that knows their stuff, some delicious cookies, and an environment where the primary topic is just art. What could be better?

    The class was great, well-organized, and had a safe environment for work. I definitely recommend someone to give it a shot, as it was welcome for beginners, as well as advanced drawers.

    The course was perfect for me (and my son) -- absolute beginners. Elaina Wiley (sp) was such a lovely, sensitive and highly skilled teacher -- able to explain some of the magic of drawing -- in a way that was very accessible and encouraging for someone just starting out. It was especially nice being in the Met environment, which was both peaceful and inspiring. I would be very interested in other courses and workshops like this one.

    Really fun-not intimidating at all, from someone who can't draw a circle or a straight line. Simon was encouraging and funny. Was a great experience and hanging out at the Met in the evening, what could be better.

    The intimidation of a blank piece of paper and a pencil was overcome by Simon's clear instruction and excellent teaching methods. He was also funny. Which helps.

    Simon has a great attitude, clear and informative way of communicating, and the class goes and at a pace that was engaging and never dull. I'd recommend this for all beginners and people looking to gain confidence in their skills.

Review Summary by CourseHorse

The Instructed Figure Drawing classes received glowing reviews from students, who found them highly rewarding and beneficial for developing their artistic skills. They commended the excellent instruction provided by Simon, who coached the students throughout each session, offering constructive feedback and guidance on their individual progress. His clear and comprehensive teaching methods helped beginners as well as advanced drawers understand the basic principles of drawing, including understanding how to work with negative space, direction, and shading. The strategy of demonstrating techniques and then providing one-on-one advice was highly appreciated by the students. They also praised Simon's communication skills and down-to-earth personality, his ability to demystify the process of drawing, and to instill confidence in their own abilities. Many expressed that they would gladly return for more classes, having learned significant drawing skills in a short span of time. Quote: 1. "Simon broke down the basic concept that makes drawing drawing. It no longer felt intimidating to pick up a pencil." 2. "Because I took his class the previous week, he sent me off to begin to work on the concepts that I learned last week... We dove deeper into the concepts of working with negative space, direction, and even shading." 3. "This drawing class was amazing! Simon Levenson is a very skilled teacher. By the end of class we shared our drawings and it was quite impressive!"
