Anna SkorobogatovaFirst flow studentFirst of all, many thanks for the opportunity to study this course! I gladly plunged into creative communication with you again. For a month and a half, I was painting at my dinner table at home in Moscow, in the woods in Lithuania and even at sea in Thailand! I like your comments - you are very motivating, you always pay attention to strengths and give recommendations on what and how we can do better. I like the subject of the course. I fully share your idea that it is necessary to learn from the best and recognized masters."Having seen enough" is equally important for an experienced artist, and for a complete amateur (like me)! In addition, the topic of the course is quite unique for our online education market: they traditionally teach either sketches in various techniques, or history of art. Your course combines both approaches. I like how the lessons are done. How perfectly chosen are the historical interiors for the entry and the final of the course. Everything is very elegant, sophisticated, intelligent. Couldn't be done better! Introductory lectures on artists are a great idea! And if you happen to re-edit/update the video, it's worth to add images of the pictures that you are talking about. -
Maria DzantievaSecond flow studentThe course submerged me into infinite world of art magic, that captivates to the extent that it seems to be your only reality and everything else is held back in the backround ... When a pleasant time comes to an end, well, for example, you're finishing the book you've loved or when the Basic course was over, there is a feeling of mild sadness. But this time there is no such sadness, which at first seemed strange to me, but then I just realized that there was no feeling that something had ended either)) rather on the contrary, there is a realization that you've got a push, a jump, as if you've been tossed to a new high from where new propects are opening, and you know you're not coming down just yet and you have the opportunity to study new things further and from a different point of view .... Just read your comments from yesterday on assignment on Rothko and was urged to come back to it, so of course I've painted again))) And I understand that I will come back to every part of the course that reached out to me. And as for bits to which my mind hasn't found the way - I'm even more likely to return to them, because I want to understand them eventually))).

Ludmila KabukSecond flow studentI am extremely grateful to you for your kindness, for constructive criticism, for attention and detailed answers. We are lucky that we, as the first streams, were lucky to receive so much attention and detailed feedback on each work, this is what I came for - thoughtful supervision of the teacher and creative push that you give as a good teacher. The course changed me in a good way, gave me inner strength and confidence. Seeing the example of artists, watching their difficult lives leave no chance to complain about self. In return they give faith in success, the belief that notwithstanding your age or abilities you can always start from scratch, it's precious. I've been enriched by this course, I even became a bit smarter, it seems)). I may even dare to talk about art with someone))) I want to become distinct, and I want to fill all the gaps in technique, to catch up - I know it's gonna take more than one course or one book. I want to find my own style, to recreate myself as a creative unit, which probably is a long way, as long as the life itself, but some solid bricks have been laid to the foundation of this road, thanks to you. I really liked the course, it's so beautiful, you're beautiful, interiors, music - you created athmosphere, that's rarely seen at online schools. And, of course, I liked the very logics of the course, the way and the choice of personalities to show the dynamics of art trends. Seemingly very short lectures, but big enough to entice, to feel the taste and go deep, to read, to watch movies, programs, to study oevres at museums and through books. All in all, I feel like I've been given a chance to talk several different languages, to experience different conditions, to walk several different roads. This is precious and it's twice and thrice as valuable as the cost of the course. I wish your project to attract more students so that the school grows, I wish that many people learn, appreciate it and become "seven artists smarter" than before and, of course, I wish they learn to better understand themselves and engage in creative field.

Valentina DeterleevaFirst flow studentIt is a great honor and joy for me to study with you! Through this course I've got rid of fear of the small A5 format. Before my drawings at A5 were much worse than A4 or A3, and now it looks like it's comparable in quality! Special acknowledgement for extremely interesting films and books that I've been reading and watching thanks to you and in general for the history part of our lessons. I nearly forgot to thank the wonderful team of the Artclever project, without you I would not be here, guys. Thank you all very much for the excellent course and prompt tech support! You are wonderful!

Sergey PonomarevArt-directorTo be honest I had doubts - how it all works. How will checks be performed during the studies, which is supposed to happen under the constant control and before the eyes of the mentor. However, having watched webinars and master-classes I realized that it's quite possible to study in this format. I'm grateful that Maria shares her skills and a fresh look at famous painters. -
Luda NikishinaFounder of the Brand Luda NikishinaIn my view Artclever has set a high standard of quality! Both a professional and a beginner can find smth interesting here. It's great that the opportunity to get education from the world's leading Institutes is now open for wide audiences! Especially it's relevant for our country. Among other things, Maria's course is filled with beauty! We have been friends for many years and I am confident in her professionalism and responsible and heartful approach. In this we are similar. Waiting for the new courses! Wishes of success to the project! -
Daria PanfilovaartistI've been following webinars and courses by Maria Pokrovskaya with great attention. Even being a classically trained painter every time I discover a lot of new things. I began to Maria's unique technique of composing faces - and it saves me loads of time. -
Alexander SkomorovskyHSE StudentOnline format is the trend and necessity for a modern lifestyle, both for me and for my peers! I graduated from art school and did a few foundation courses, since I planned to pursue a degree in architecture. But the choice of university was still not easy. It's great that on Artclever I can take various introductory courses or webinars from teachers and schools of interest! -
Maria TimofeevaPhotographer, floristI am constantly looking for new creative opportunities and development, I have taken various courses in art more than once. I've been knowing Masha as a teacher for ages, and it was her course that gave me what I was looking for: I got rid of fear of the blank sheet, fear of experiments, I began to see the world around me in a new way, which is especially valuable for me as a photo artist. And now I will never forget basic rules of composition, I hope. Thank you Masha for a "magic kick", for tactfullness, expertise, for my new skills and self-confidence! -
Vladimir LeeAvia interior engineerA promising start-up! Good job of the team! I work a lot, I fly around the world and for me personally online education is an excellent opportunity to continue developing my professional skills in design. Initially I enrolled in the British program with the British Higher School of Design, but I couldn't combine studies and job and was forced to abandon my dream. Therefore, I look forward to new online courses from the School on Artclever platform. And thanks for the option of English subtitles - you can practice the language.
