Question from anonymous
Can you please tell me who will be teaching this class (their full name) starting on March 27,
Answer from Darwin V. CourseHorse StaffCourseHorse Staff
Hi there, The teacher's name is Sarah. The school can't provide the full name for security reason. Sarah has been teaching for many years but she's been teaching at Discovery Center for 2 years now. She has an extensive background in art and has excellent reviews. Next Wednesday class will start in 4/10. I hope this helps.

Hi Tania! All the reviews for this class are located below this questions and answers and I can see many good feedbacks from the students who took this class. Upon checking, their old Yelp profile is outdated, mostly old or inaccurate information and the student who took this class just don't post there.

The teacher was excellent. She made the class fun. Nobody felt intimidated. She was very knowledgeable and terrific with instruction.

Reviewed by Claudia S. on 9/14/2022
I thought that this class was of great value. I enjoyed the teacher and meditative aspect of painting, however, there was less instruction as I anticipated. I would have gladly paid more to have a dedicated teacher and learn more techniques by watching/doing. The teacher was very talented, though, but juggled 2 classes at once.

Reviewed by Karen R. on 3/6/2020
I enjoyed the class very much and felt the instructor showed an interest in each participant. She also covered a wide range of media in the session. And, she is very entertaining.
