art CLASS London

I have been taking lessons with Maddie for about three years now and I love her classes. Maddie is an amazing teacher who balances teaching techniques with helping each of us find our own personal style. She listens and guides, never imposes her style or a particular technique, encourages us to express ourselves and gives each of us personalised advice. She is probably the best teacher I've had in my life!

I’ve attended a printmaking course years ago and was pleasantly surprised, learning and expanding my knowledge. I returned this year as a teacher-in-training because there's always so much to learn from Dubravka. The lessons are perfectly structured, with introductory and practical sections. The final section, which recaps the production process with comments and considerations, is wonderful. I recommend it to anyone who wants to start, continue, or improve their artistic practice.

My Son absolutely loves his Thursday Art class with Rebecca. He really looks forward to it, as this allows him to be himself, in a creative environment with other like minded students, where they can gleen from one another. The two-hour sessions are engaging and so well structured, and he’s learning a wide range of techniques including landscapes, shading, and collage. He’s very creative, and this class really nurtures that while also helping him grow in skill and confidence. We couldn’t be happier.

I've been taking classes with the teacher Maddie regularly for about half a year now. I love that we are encouraged to approach painting and drawing as a creative process, even if you are an absolute beginner, and the syllabus and the exercises are always positioned in the context of classic and contemporary art. It's never boring, it's not a "standard" class where you paint cubes, vases and apples (which I think is not very suitable for adult students). The class is mixed level, the atmosphere is friendly, encouraging and inspiring (there are often at least a few quite advanced students in class). And last but not least, the schedule is very flexible.

Rebecca's class is wonderful, much to be recommended. My nine-year old granddaughter has learnt so much over the past year, not just about a range of different ways of doing and seeing art, but also about artists who have used these different techniques, whether with ink, paint, chalk, materials, collages and whether for landscape, portraits, still lives or whatever! She has produced some fantastic art and her imagination and ability to express this now knows no bounds!

Maddie is a warm inspiring teacher. She offers a wonderful combination of art history, technique, encouragement and supportive suggestions and instruction. Every term has a new theme to engage and stimulate you. For a real beginner like me her enthusiasm and positivity has been immensely helpful. She has a really sensitive and skillful way to engage and stretch all the class members who are often at rather different levels of experience.

I have been part of the Art Class London family for many years. It is fabulous!. I have recently started an additional class : Classical Drawing, with Tanja. If you enjoy drawing, and want to sharpen your skills with a challenging new discipline, this is the class for you. Tanja is so skilled, and extremely kind and encouraging.
