4 Art lessons

I think we can all remember classes where the teacher stood and lectured for the whole period - Malone is not like that. We discussed the concepts of line, shapes, movement, etc. All in all this was the most enjoyable and educational art class I have ever taken. I look forward future classes. He has put a charge in me that had been lacking for years. I would recommend Malone to anyone who wants to be a better artist.

Her lesson is not boring but really fun. She treats her students as her friends rather than just her students. That is the best part of being her student. If you are in art or design field (especially fashion), I will strongly recommend her because she knows a lot about fashion design and arts and she understands how the design industry goes on. She knows what words that I need and which conversations that I have to prepare.

Not this time! It was as if she knew Frances forever. However, connecting on a personal level was only a minor concern. With time being of the essence, we needed a tutor who could get R up to speed and help her discover if art was in fact a good option for her. After only a couple of months' worth of lessons, our daughter's skills are developing beautifully. Frances is a patient teacher.
