The entire experience was transformational! Under Maritza Molinas expert teaching ability, I progressed from complete novice to accomplished artist. Her method of instruction and demo followed by students practice and constructive critique was instrumental in my foundational drawing progress. Not only is Maritza an extremely gifted artist, she has the added talent of being able to patiently share, coach and encourage all her students at their various levels. It was truly a pleasure being one of her students. I credit her with awakening in me a talent I did not think possible!

Back in 2013 I took two art classes from Maritza Molina. Basic and advanced drawing. Ms Molina is a talented artist and excellent teacher. She has great credentials being a graduate of the prestigious Rhode Island School of Design. From her I learned good drawing techniques which I apply to my daily work as an artist. I learned about the concepts of form, contour drawing, spatial relationship, positive and negative space, value, shading, etc. Also the more advanced subjects of foreshortening, perspective, still life and portraits. The material presented in class was reinforced by sensible homework. Ms Molina was always prepared, well organized and on time. She’s a cheerful person and very enthusiastic about art. She was a force in motivating her students. I benefited from taking her class and the knowledge I gained is extensive. She’s one of the best teachers I ever had,
