"I enjoyed the assignments and thought they provided a substantial challenge that helped me see improvement in my work very quickly. This course introduced me to several new mediums, and it taught me new techniques for mediums I already use. I gained valuable feedback on my work and learned a lot on how to further develop my style and learn what I like to create most... I felt included and allowed to learn and make mistakes, and felt comfortable in being able to change my ideas or direction with my work."
