What Our Students Say

“I started this course 4 weeks ago and I am enjoying it immensely. I have already learned more about art in these 4 weeks than in the whole of the 2-year Art Foundation Course at college. The teaching notes are instructive and really valuable. It is an advantage to such and excellent personal tutor and I found Stan’s critiques so positive and above all so encouraging. This gives me an incentive to continue and to look forward to each Assignment. This on-line course is certainly worth every penny.”
Joan Edwards.

“I really enjoyed the Portfolio Preparation course with Stan. He gives you just the right amount of structure to get you going in the right direction so you can make the most of the assignment. The format/delivery of the course really worked for me too so I could fit in a lot of projects in and around my very busy schedule; I was able to do the work evenings and weekends in my own time. This allowed me to develop a portfolio for submission to BA painting program at a nearby London art school — and I’ve been accepted for a place on the programme. Thanks for all your help Stan!”
