Students generally enjoyed the Drawing Foundations: Soft Pastel Painting class. They appreciated the opportunity to work at their own pace and with their own preferred materials. The instructor provided individualized guidance to help students modify and advance their skills at any level. The class included drawing still-life and practicing warm-up exercises, such as drawing without looking and using the non-dominant hand. Students also learned techniques like roughly measuring objects by holding their charcoal at arm's length. Overall, students found Michelle Asarch to be a wonderful and patient teacher, and they highly recommended the class. Direct quotes: 1. "You can draw at your own pace, your own picture, and your own preference (pencils, charcoals, paint). The instructor will walk around and offer techniques to help modify and advance your skill at any level." 2. "In one brief session, I went from knowing nothing to being able to draw a very impressive self-portrait." 3. "The teacher, Michelle Asarch, is very friendly and patient. I highly recommend this class!"
