I had a great time with this course. The teacher makes the explanations lively and interactive. I discovered an original working method on creativity and was able to improve and channel my originality. The teacher made me discover new mediums and new media (black and white photos, collages, drawings, graphics, etc.) I liked this course and recommend it to anyone who wants to create and discover new things.

An incredibly stimulating course, with simple but very interesting exercises to unlock creativity and enjoy learning to draw. It has many additional resources and the teacher motivates you to explore and practice. I had a creative block and it has been very useful to relax and try new things and relaxing exercises that you can then expand and complicate as much as you want; the limit is your imagination. Thank you very much for this great course.
