I was very impressed with the quality of the information. Having taken many college courses, I was still looking for one that really explained these things in a way I could understand them. This course did it for me. I enjoyed this very much and learned so much more than I did before. Good presentation.

There is so much more to art one might study in a college class but much of the education I got in this one many art majors never quite get!! It is a surprisingly extensive course for the cost and sure gives me a good background and understanding BEF"ORE I paint! Like a child learning to read, without knowledge of letters,sounds etc reading will never happen. This is your art primer...a total necessity and excellently done! I cant imagine the personal research time it has saved me about the why we do,paint, and how we see things in art!

Most people have to take a few semesters of art history, composition, etc. to get this kind of education and information. This exceeded my expectations by miles.

If I could only take one theory course, this would be it. The wealth of information layed out in such a systematic manner is tremendous. Love the online aspect. I can go back over, and over the info. Each time I pick up something new. This is better than college courses that I've seen, yet suited for all levels of artists.
