Artmaker Testimonials

"The students were absolutely mesmerized by Michael Herron’s lessons. These normally rowdy students got immediately on task. Many of them took notes from the lesson without instructions to do so. They were fascinated to watch and learn. It was like having Michael as a guest teacher in the room. By the time the students had finished watching the lessons they were motivated and ready to draw."

"My year 9 and 10 drawing classes were very engaged by the ArtMaker Tutorials. After they’d watched the video, they were able to draw the still life accurately and closely replicated the lines of the objects. The Tutorials are really good resources for teachers who want to show demonstrations to their class but are afraid to do so. The lesson notes were also very helpful and gave the students a way to process the information they were watching."

"I trialled ArtMaker with 15-16 year old students with Intellectual Disability and Aspergers Syndrome. The students found the activities easily accessible. The language and breakdown of tasks into easy to follow steps suited the learning styles of our students. It is without hesitation that I recommend this programme as an integral part of any Art curriculum that is used to support students with special needs."
