First Week in Creative Collage

Friday, June 26th, 2009

I’m just thrilled with some of the work being done in this class. The students are following the lesson instructions and then taking the steps well beyond the lesson. The final results are very gratifying and I think I’m having as much fun seeing what the students create as they are having in the creation. Here’s an example of some of the work being done. This scrap collage was created by Enny Jameson. Way to go Enny!

Read what students are saying about Skip Allen’s Painter classes,

“I absolutely loved your class and all your inspiring notes and videos. You covered every little detail and it was so easy to understand. Your comments were all so encouraging and inspirational. I really enjoyed the “Intro to Painter 11″ and I am really looking forward to “Beyond the Basics”.

Thank you for teaching us all so much and being so generous with your knowledge and expertise around Painter 11.”

Ginny F., Student

“I cannot say enough about the quality of content that Skip gave us in Intro to Painter 11 at DAA. I highly recommend this class to anyone that needs instruction not only for Painter 11 but also for any Corel Painter that you might have. There is so much he teaches that I did not know about the program. He excelled in his professionalism and giving encouragement to his students. Skip was always there and always so generous with his time and efforts. This class gets an A+++ from me for quality of teaching, content and the very best videos and presentation to help you fully understand this remarkable program. Skip left no stone unturned in helping you understand any facet of Painter, no matter how complex and I really am appreciative of all his efforts and the work he put into his lessons and video presentations. Awesome class, and awesome teacher.”

Judith Phares, Student

“You should take a bow. Your classes were informative, Skip, you stretched my boundaries and pushed me beyond my imagination to places I would never have ventured. For me as a student, I felt more secrets were revealed than I never knew existed. Can’t wait to have more secrets revealed in the next session of the ability of Painter 11.
Your energy, in fact this applies to all DAA teachers in the classrooms and giving of your knowledge is admirable. You all share so much with us, Thank you.
The classes are a breeze and stress free. The technology works, the teaching methods are way ahead of other on-line classes I attend, especially in the digital scrap booking arena.
You guys could teach them how to present classes, that’s one thing I know for sure.”

Shelley Fuhr, Student

“Actually, it’s hard to really find the right words, Skip…you are such an extraordinary teacher. Your teaching method and knowledge of the subject matter….PAINTER 11…makes a perfect combination. It’s quite apparent that you spent a lot of time combing for the last detail and presenting your work to the class that made it so understandable and fun to follow. I appreciate your in-depth PDF’s and Vidoes. The structure of your PDF’s made it extremely easy to follow your instructions. As I said before…just because one knows a program does not necessarily make one a good teacher. You are indeed, a good teacher.”
