Ideas to Draw From was such a great class! It gave me tons of creative projects and ideas that I can actually use with my students. I had fun doing the assignments, and they helped me think in new and creative ways. I also got to try things I normally wouldn’t have done on my own. The best part of the class was the professor. She was so supportive, encouraging, and fun to learn from. She really cared about my work and gave helpful feedback without making it stressful. She made the class feel like a safe place to explore and be creative. I’m really glad I took this course—it reminded me why I love making art and gave me so many ideas I can bring into my classroom.

I have taken 5 classes with Jill Faison. I have enjoyed all of them. Jill is involved throughout the journery. It's important to her that all of her students have a successful experience.

I was totally impressed with the quality of the projects. I enjoyed the creative process of connecting these experiences to the standards I teach and was surprised I could connect each one pretty easily! I gained many valuable ideas from this class that I plan on executing in my science classroom for the years to come.

Jill Faison is a fantastic and compassionate professor. She really allowed me to work at my own pace and encouraged me every step of the way. The course is encouraging and stretched me as a middle school art teacher and an artist. It also equipped me with new lessons that I'm able to return to or whip out at a moment's notice. Excellent class.

I highly recommend Taking Ideas to Draw From. This is a great course for any educator interested in integrating art making activities into their curriculum, as well as art teachers looking for ideas. The experiences are very adaptable to different age groups, subject matter, and art materials. As an art teacher I found this experiences to be an enjoyable challenge that I looked forward to working on. When finished, I had 10 wonderful lessons, and beautiful examples of art that can be integrated into other subject areas, as well as incorporated into my curriculum. I look forward to teaching my students the lessons I developed by taking this course.

Although I am an Art teacher, I can see this being useful for other teachers as well. I learned great ideas for students to work on drawing skills, creativity, critical thinking, and writing skills.

I have now taken 5 classes with Jill Gomas Faison. I loved them all! She is so helpful and encouraging. She doesn't ever make you feel that you are bothering her when you ask a question and I don't think I ever had to wait more than 24 hours for a response from her. I not only would but have recommended her classes to my coworkers.
