PhotoImpact: Fun with Paths

I found the lessons easy to follow.  Learn a lot of new things too.  Was a well-written course.
- Wendy

Well written and clear...went further into paths in some cases, than I have been before.
- Barbara Thomas, Ocala, Florida

Fun with projects, fun with classmates, fun with teachers.... Fun With Paths!!!
- Sher, Kansas

I wish to commend my instructors Virginia and Sharon for their patience, support, and encouragement throughout the course.  They are tops!
- Joanne, Maryland

I have thoroughly enjoyed my time in this class and whilst I consider that I started "path challenged" I certainly now feel "parh enlightened" and wanting to know and do more.  What more can you ask for :)
- Carol, Australia


PC Basics

This was a very informative course for the beginner or intermediate user of a PC. Lots of questions were answered and more than I ever knew was also addressed. Interesting homework and housekeeping also. I would recommend this class to anyone that needs help with their PC, understanding the programs and running.
Barbara,Ocala,Fl.


Apophysis Exploration

Travis is a first-rate teacher and the course was excellent.  I no longer feel I am stumbling around in Apophysis. I would recommend this course to anyone.
Laurence

This course was quite appropriate for it's intended audience and very enjoyable. Our instructor was also quiet encouraging, friendly and knowledgeable.
- Brenda McK, Kitchener, Ontario

I think Visual Arts Academy is a great starting point for someone wanting to jump back into schooling with out the hassle of the classroom, from the convienence of your own home, and at a much more personalized pace. It can't be beat!

Bryce Beginner

This is the only on-line intro to Bryce that I am aware of.  Excellent place to start.
—Charles, California

Sharren presented the Bryce course professionaly with excellent examples and explanations.  I highly recommend it to anyone even if you've gotten your feet wet but want to understand Bryce better.
—Larry Gallagher, New Jersey

I bought Bryce in the promo some weeks ago and never use that.  I did not know how to create a picture.  After first lessons in this course I was able to create any picture!  This course was open Bryce and 3D world for me.  Thank you Sharren!
—Marek Zawadzki

Enjoyable class, great for those interested in learning Bryce!
—Anna M. Rice, Tampa, Florida

Perfect for anyone new to Bryce!
—Mel, Vermont


Bryce Advanced

I love this whole idea of the VAA. Nowhere else can you get this level of teaching for the price.  I am sold on the VAA.
—Alice Pettersen, New York


DAZ Studio Beginner

I am very pleased with the results from this class.  I would never have been able to "self-teach" myself all the things I have learned these past few weeks.  Having an instructor to answer the questions that pop up along the way was invaluable.
—Joanne, Maryland

The newest download for DAZ was not listed and we could not download the older version which was quite different. This made the lessons hard to follow as directions were not clear to us. But after much playing around with it, we would find it or figure it out. Sharren has since downloaded the newer version and it should be put in the prerequisites. Sharren was very, very helpful to us in understanding all of it!!
—Maureen, Connecticut


Poser Beginner

I tried to learn to use Poser on my own and just couldn't figure it all out.  Taking the course allowed me to go step by step until I was able to put all the pieces together to create my own images.
—Joanne, Maryland

Finally there is a course for beginners, which *really* gives a quick and clear overview how to work with Poser. I highly recommend this course to everybody who wants to learn Poser.
—Martina Schubert, Berlin, Germany

A wonderful course to take. This course gives you a great start in the 3D world of graphics arts.I instructor is fantastic and one of the best I have ever worked with.
—Alice Petterson, Lewiston, New York


Poser: Advanced

Essential learning for graphics applications!
—Maxine Snyder, New York


PaintShop Pro:Beginner

The classes I have taken at Visual Arts Academy have been well tailored and the instructors were just the best. Friendly, informative and always eager to help in anyway they can. Their answers were written fully and quit easy to undersatnd. The classes are the same. Well written and easy to follow. Outstanding learning experience
- Carolyn Van Doren, Dalton, Georgia

I really enjoyed the PSP beginners class that I just completed. I have used an earlier version of PSP, but needed help with the more advanced and complicated tools and I already feel as though I've learned a lot - and this was only the beginner's level!
- Deb K, Michigan

PSP Beginner is a wonderful class that gives a strong foundation to learning the different functions of PSP.
- Daimon Carizone, Arizona

Brandy and Stormy really make it easy!  And they are extremely responsive and intuitively helpful, especially to very new users of PSP.
- Dixie, Mexico


PaintShop Pro: Intermediate

Brandy and Stormy are exceptionally talented artists and exceptionally responsive to students needs--and exceptionally prompt about it!  They are exceptional teachers!  And the Lessons are exceptionally well-written—all-in-all an exceptional experience!!!
- Dixie, Mexico

The class was very informative and was done very professional.  I would recommend this course to others.
- Arthur Hewett, Florida

Well, I want to emphasize that I enjoyed the course very much, and everybody has another learning style ... I personally find tutorials, however, a bit misleading—people think they "can" do it now—and after a while they would see they cannot do anything at all unless there is a tutorial to work after ... But this is just a personal opinion and others might prefer just the tutorial style to own experiments.  ...the best what PSP has to offer was chosen for learning - Brandy and Stormy, you chose just the topics I like most of all in PSP!
- Martina Schubert, Berlin, Germany

Landscape Painting

This is a wonderful course and Lin is a very good teacher. Thanks to her help and knowledge, I feel more confident about painting and know that I could tackle just about anything after this course. I would highly recommend it to anyone even remotely interested in painting landscapes.
—Janet, Wisconsin


XenoDream

This was an amazing class! Joseph is a wonderful instructor, and I plan to take this class again, as I am a raw beginner with XD.
Also plan to show my work to my Photoshop classmates, they are already awed, and some plan to take Joseph's class.
—Jane Carter, USA

Very interesting academy, with helpful teacher.
—Bertrand, Belgium

The XenoDream course was as well crafted as any I've ever taken. I looked forward with great anticipation to each new lesson because I gained so much each week. That's the best testimonial I can imagine.
—Welles B.Goodrich-Santa Cruz,Ca.

The instructor's lesson plan was well thought out, with each lesson building upon the skills learned in the previous lesson. The course provided a solid foundation for working with the software, and allowed me to meet and interact with the other participants.
—Danise Santiago

I wanted to learn how to use Xenodream, so signing up to a class seemed the best option. Within the first week I felt this class was well worth the money. Even the people taking the class that had used Xenodream for a while said they were learning a lot of things they never knew.
—Helen Davies-Northumberland UK

A helpful course with a brillant and patient teacher, gave me more than I expected.
—H.Tarnick, Frankfurt,Germany

Very well thought out hands-on course, that quickly enables you to work creatively. Joseph is an inspiring teacher. The class environment was a lot of fun.
—Anders Wirth, Eureka, CA

Wonderful experience learning a difficult program from a knowledgeable instructor.
—Ralph Warnick Roosevelt, NJ

Excellent course and teacher. Met a lot of great people during the classes and learned a lot of useful skills.
—Steve MacIntyre,Ontario, Canada

The fractal classes offered at VAA are first rate and an incredible bargain. Even if you could find structured training elsewhere, I doubt it would be as good, or enjoyable. Great teachers, great assignments and tons of help from the community. Top Notch
—Louis Markoya - Sandy Hook, CT

All training are super (XenoDream, Ultrafractal, Bryce). Super work and hope we will see again.
—Marek Zawadzki -Poland
