Frequently asked questions about adult classes:

I am going to miss 1-2 classes. How do I make them up? Almost every student misses classes now and then. To arrange a make up, please email your studio up to 5 days in advance, we do not allow drop ins. - We offer up to 3 make ups per course/semester (1 make up for short 5-6 weeks courses) - Make ups are not guaranteed, but we will try our best. - No make ups can be scheduled after missed class. - A make up can not be rescheduled. Do I need to purchase materials? We provide the materials for the in-studio classes, there is no need to bring anything. However, it might be a good idea to purchase some art materials for practice at home. Online students neeed to purchase materials for their classes.

I joined Art School at SF bay for the Adult drawing class...

I must say I thoroughly enjoyed every day of the course. Was also able to learn quite a few complex concepts and was pleasantly surprised to see the art work I made at the end of the class...

I could make good progress with my skill set and am more confident about it than before.

Highly recommend!

I took Hannah's Academic Drawing Class. Every class had a lecture that was helpful and instructional. Hannah was a wonderful teacher, she was so funny and brought great energy to class. She gave individualized attention and helpful suggestions to every student. She really wanted us to learn and succeed in the drawing fundamentals. I really appreciated her enthusiasm for teaching.

This class is perfect for providing the fundamental techniques for all future art styles and media. I highly recommend this class, and I look forward to taking more in the future!

Just finished taking Academic Drawing with Andrew. I have no experience whatsoever in drawing and always wanted to learn. In each class, we have learned different skills and techniques. Andrew is a really patient and great teacher. By the end of all 14 classes, i was able to draw landscapes, folds, and plaster heads and was able to learn bout shading and basic drawing techniques. It has been a great class, and I would like to continue learning about drawing.
