If after your first class you are dissatisfied with the quality of your course, a written note must be submitted within 1 business day after your first class.

Please note that there will be NO exceptions to this under any circumstances.

Make-up Policy

Unfortunately, The school does not offer any makeups for classes missed. However, if the student wants to get the most from the course and the absence, they can tell the instructor when they will be absent and the instructor can provide some guidance on exercises to practice while away.

In any event where a customer wants to cancel their enrollment and is eligible for a full refund, a 5% processing fee will be deducted from the refund amount.

    Reviewed by Elizabeth G. on 6/21/2023
    I thoroughly enjoyed this class because I learned about diverse aspects of drawing -- shading, perspective, form, contrast -- in a profound and accessible way. Clare and Alexis are excellent instructors -- informative, compassionate and enthusiastic. They offer the kind of encouragement that makes us look forward to the next class. Thank you so much inspiring me to take more courses in drawing. I would love to take a course at the Met, and especially at the Cloisters, if you offer instruction in the venue. Warm wishes, Elizabeth Gorski New York City www.crosswordnation.com
