    Zach provided such an in depth explanation for the basic concepts/principles. I enjoyed his academic approach to teaching.

    Teaching methods were inappropriate for an art course. Continuous questioning of students who rarely knew the answers made the course drag. Why not demonstrate - what happens when you mix X color with Y color? Show usOr even better, let the students try it out by working on scrap paper to see what happens when these colors mix. Also, many in the class did not appreciate the instructors sarcasm, especially his negative comment about his students who are over 75. There were students in this class over 75. I don’t think ageism belongs in a program like this.

    Loved the class! This was my first colored pencil class so I really wasn’t familiar with how to approach making an image using colored pencils. I learned a lot about layering colors, blending, and about color theory. It was great!

    Zach is terrific. The class was very challenging but deeply satisfying. Zach is very skilled and patient, guiding us into the mysteries of how to make a decent drawing.

    I learned a LOT and would definitely recommend it for someone eager to get their hands dirty (literally and figuratively) with drawing. I will say there's more of a learning by doing philosophy in this class (and less time teaching in any lecturing type of sense) but that's probably good for this sort of activity.

    The course was okay but not much instruction for total beginners and not a 101 on oil painting. Zach’s class focused on color and the entire 6 weeks was an experiment in color. We mixed colors, layered colors and took away colors but there wasn’t much explanation. I would say his class is a learn by doing class but I didn’t gain an understanding into why I was doing it. The class with Zach is probably best for someone who has some knowledge of how oil painting and is interested in learning more about color.

    Zach was amazing - so inventive and knowledgable. I wish there had been even more time for technique. I'd take another class with him any time.

    I thought that it was a great class. The only think to note is the the title is a bit misleading. It's more of an introduction to various drawing mediums (e.g. pencil, ink, charcoal) than to how to draw.

    This class was a great introduction to drawing with charcoal. Coming in as a complete beginner, I left picking up a few different techniques and a further interest in learning to draw. Would definitely recommend to others!
