How do the classes work? What are some of the content or subject choices?
Daily classes are kept small so everyone gets a lot of personal attention. Class size can vary from one person to a maximum of around 2-3 people.
Due to the small classes, different skills can be emphasized for different people in the same class depending on their special interests and requirements. However, when we have several clients interested in the same topic, such as
Rudolf Steiner Color Theory,
Art Therapy,
Observational (realistic) Drawing,
Oil Painting,
Portraiture etc., then we group clients together on specific days whenever possible.
