Too much students for 1 teacher
I also felt that the student could not create. We were supposed to follow the teacher's criteria. Of course we are there to learn, but I think that the student should also be given some liberty to express what he wants to reflect on the canvas, related the object that is being seen.
Also, in some classes, the quality of the paint tubes was not the best. The brushes also were a bit old to be able to be more precise in the work we were performing.
Nevertheless, the staff was friendly. I just think there should be some improvement on the matters I listed above.
