I learned so many new skills in this camp. I can’t name them all!

My student had a wonderful experience in the Sewing with Shapes class. It was her first experience with sewing, and she loved it! She worked on her projects at home, without me having to say anything, and her confidence grew. I would highly recommend!

My daughter loved the class. She learned great foundational skills of stitching, drawing, and tailoring. She enjoyed seeing an idea on paper come to fruition. Several of her friends were in the class too, and they talked about it all week and looked forward to the time and experience together. She is proud of her final work and was excited to share her progress. She was responsible to keep on top of what she needed each week for class, including any prep work and bringing the materials on class day.
I would definitely recommend the class! Students get to apply math to real life hands on work, and they walk away with cute clothing they can wear. It was a fun and relaxing way to learn.

“Diana was an outstanding teaching designer to collaborate with in our middle school visual arts classroom! Her curriculum was thoughtful, engaging, and reflected important fundamental design concepts that tied into the California Visual Art Teaching & Learning Standards. Diana was organized and flexible, a terrific communicator, and adapted her instruction as needed to meet the needs of all students in the classroom. I can’t wait to have her back for another unit!”

I did learn new skills in this camp! I learned how to make straight lines on the sewing machine and making a pattern.

5 stars! The sewing module in Art was really fun and easy to follow along. I liked the process of making stuffed animals, and enjoyed seeing the final product. I was very proud of my creation. Ms. Diana was really good because she helped a lot, making it easy to understand how to create the item and went around the room to help. What did I learn: I had no prior sewing experience and learned how to sew, how to piece together the parts, sew eyes, other create/attach accessories. I would love to take this class again and I recommend it to other people.
