 Hi, my name is Leanne, and I'm taking a course at the Barnes called Elements of Art. I've been a lifelong lover of the arts, the creative and visual, and I'm having such a magnificent time here. When I was at the free library one day, I came across a brochure. In fact, this is the original brochure that I came across, and it had a little piece, a little paragraph about classes here. So I started to investigate it, and that began my journey with the Barnes. And it's been a fantastic journey. But prior to the Elements of Art, I took the traditions of art. What a challenge. I was in the class after two or three classes, I knew that I was over my head. I was sweating water, and I felt like I was going to sink. I went spoke to Bill the instructor and said I am dropping out. He convinced me to stay, said just stay and just complete the class. I did that. I'm so glad that I did. My confidence, my vocabulary has increased, my comprehension has increased. It has been a great experience. He gave such encouragement, such support, and I thank him very much for that. What would I tell others about the Barnes? I would say try it, you'll like it. Come on over and just expand your mind, interact, take a walk through. The experience will stay with you forever.
