    The instructor was terrible. His instructions were poor. He provided no critiquing during the class so you never knew where you were. He offered to let people submit their drawings so he could provide feedback, but, even then, he barely provided any to the people who submitted their drawings. During the class, He seldom showed what he was doing to finish the drawing, so we couldn’t learn from him. I wish I could get my money back. I gave it 2 stars because I didn’t go to the last 2 classes and perhaps they were better than the ones I attended.
