We have had more and more teenagers sign up
recently. Do you have one that wants to learn about art and photography?
Kayli V., a 16 year old from La Jolla, Calif., intermediate photographer that loves shooting bands
already, had this to say on the critique form:

Very satisfied- handled all my questions
personal_attention_day2: 10 - Very satisfied- handled all my questions
length_of_class_day1: A bit long
length_of_class_day2: Just right
class_materials_day1: Well informed, read the pre-class info page
class_materials_day2: Well informed, read the pre-class info page
How_helpful_was_class: 10 - Very helpful
How_satisfied: 10 - Very satisfied
value_for_the_money: About right (especially since she did not have
to pay ;/).
quote_me: ON
name: Kayli VerSteeg
How_was_michael_as_an_instructor: He was extremely patient with me
and all the other students. He would repeat concepts we found difficult in a
number of ways until we all understood it.
How_was_Michaels_teaching_style: I liked the balance of fun and
teaching. I think he has it pretty well mastered.
ForEveryon_how_tough_respectful_day1_critiquing: He was just as tough
as necessary and helped me compose solid pictures
ForEveryon_how_tough_respectful_day2_critiquing: He was extremely
helpful and would share his opinions but still make us compose the pictures
on our own.
short_paragraph_of_how_it_was: The class was an in depth extensive
two day funshop. It taught me very much that I didn't know. It covered
everything from how to manipulate the camera the way you need to, to how to
compose solid award winning photographs and even how to edit your previous
pictures to be winners. I really enjoyed the class and highly recommend it
to anyone interested in photography.

La Jolla, Calif.,
Class of 5.3-4.'08

length_of_class_day2: Just right

How_helpful_was_class: 8
How_satisfied_overall: 10 - Very satisfied
value_for_the_money: Way more value than what I paid
(this is cute, her parents paid of course).
quote_me: ON
name: Nicole O.
How_was_michael_as_an_instructor: Michael was very helpful
and explained concepts very well. He was consistent and stuck with me
through my problems.
How_was_Michaels_teaching_style: He balanced fun and
teaching well, and I learned without feeling too pressured.
ForEveryon_how_tough_respectful_day1_critiquing: He was a
hard critic, but all his criticism was well-meant and helped immensely.
ForEveryon_how_tough_respectful_day2_critiquing: He was
tough but maintained a sense of respect by explaining that everyone had
different opinions while sharing his own.
short_paragraph_of_how_class_was_overall:
The first day, we
all got to know one another. It was a long day of learning concepts but was
well worth sticking through. The following two days were extremely
constructive, and I left feeling satisfied that I had learned as much as I
could in a three day period. Michael was both honest and respectful, and I
would love to take more of his classes.
Beg_too_tough_day_ONE?: Most were illustrated well enough
that I could gather a basic understanding for each concept. I don't think
that I would have understood Michael's comments later on without the first
day. I enjoyed seeing the work of others in the class as well. Critiquing
work was fun, inspiring, and helpful.
beginners_day_ONE_anything_should_be_done_differently?: no
Beg_Day2_Was_tech_tooToughOrEasy_And_Benefits_Recd: Once I
began using the camera outside, taking my own pictures, it was easier to
understand the concepts that had been outlined in day one. The technical
info was, once again, well explained.
beginners_day_TWO_anything_done_differently?: I thoroughly
enjoyed each and every aspect of the field work. I was challenged to the
point where I felt I had to strive for something without getting overly
frustrated.
