Student Reviews

"Alex encourages artistic growth through his knowledge, professionalism, and dry wit. He takes the fluff out of art and attempts to teach objective sight and a sense for the harmonious relationships that create the human form."

"Alex is a good role model and a good person to check in with on drawing and other artistic matters."

"The instructor has excellent credentials and is able to help each student at their own level."

"The professor took his time with each student. He encouraged improvement and is always helpful."

"Excellent instruction and great models."

"I think this is an incredibly helpful way to learn -- he offered critique on my process and tailored his advice accordingly -- and I was delightfully surprised and impressed by the quality of his instruction and how much I improved during just seven classes so far. I would definitely recommend and take his class in another quarter!"
