Hey!
Anonymous rated 5 out of 5 stars
The course is really great, I received a lot of help from my lecturers. The workshops and lectures helped to develop my work and process of thoughts. The course has enabled me to be as creative as I can be and has also pushed me beyond my limit. My work has been improving consistently due to the creative people that surrounds me.
