    Anonymous review on 11/7/2018
    It was the wrong choice for me personally. I was looking for a class that where the instructor would explore the use of acrylic mediums and abstract art. Instead, the first 2 classes were spent painting stoic still-life’s. I stopped attending.

If you are unable to attend a class one day, are you able to make it up another day?
Answer from Georgia C. CourseHorse StaffCourseHorse Staff
Hi there! Make-up classes are not allowed since other classes may be full. The instructors are also paid based on the number of students within their own classes, so attending a class outside your own is not allowed.
