Cartooning Testimonial for Pygmalion School of Fine Art

"I have taken the Cartooning class at Pygmalion for 2 years now, and it has been more than worth the money.  I have learned tons, and my progress has been remarkable.  Plus, the class is fun!  Gerry is a fantastic instructor, and I would recommend this class to anyone who has a desire to draw cartoons."

Fine Art Testimonials for

Pygmalion School of Fine Art

"I found the instruction at Pygmalion School oFine Art to be very responsive to the individual students' interests while emphasizing the importance of observation and compositional skills.  Dixie was keen to allow each student to pursue projects of interest to him or her, focusing on the techniques most essential to each, as well as those that were in need of improvement.  She was also instrumental in securing my acceptance to a highly competitive post-secondary Fine Art program; she both reviewed my portfolio with advice on what to include, and gave specific suggestions for additional work to produce to fill in gaps and showcase greater diversity.  The five years I spent under her instruction were instrumental to my artistic growth and development.

"I have been attending Pygmalion School of Fine Art for the past nine years.  Throughout my studies with Dixie she has been encouraging, supportive and positive. Dixie has seen my individual strengths and helped me strive to my fullest potential. As an instructor she is able to critique the positive and negative, taking artists to a whole new level. Throughout my studies there has always been diversity, introduction to new mediums, techniques and styles. Dixie has a true love and passion for art and it shows through her artistic ability, work and teaching techniques. For the years I have spent studying with Dixie and the skills I have obtained it has helped me in my post secondary studies and my professional career. I will continue to study with Dixie and am very enthusiastic to keep learning and growing. "

I'm so glad I'm in your art class.  I've loved art all my life, and I'm finally in an art class.  Even when I was in kindergarten my teacher would say "Wow, Lacey that' a really nice picture", and stuff like that.  Dixie, so far this year art has been so much fun, and I'm glad you're my art teacher.  Thank you for teaching me.
