"This class was perfectly paced for me. I am very comfortable with tech and the basics of design tools, but new to AD. Tracey was spot on as she guided through the examples - she doesn’t go off on tangents or assume that you need very basic instruction over and over. She introduces new concepts in small bits and then reinforces them with repeated use and alternative examples. She offers shortcuts and tips I haven’t found elsewhere. She explains why and when to use one option vs another. Most enjoyably, you end up learning AD but the focus is on making the project (as opposed to going through each button in AD in isolation without immediate application). And, the icing on the cake? Tracey responds to comments, projects, and questions." - Susan K.
Two years ago, this month, I started teaching on @skillshare when art festivals were canceled due to COVID. As it turned out, that pivot was one of the best decisions I made; I decided to retire from festivals and focus on teaching. Today, one of my biggest goals was met; I got invited to be a part of the Top Teacher program and very happily accepted. Meeting this goal is thanks in GREAT part to you, my students; those of you who have taken my classes, shared your projects and/or left reviews. Your encouragement, and kind words, helped inspire me to push harder and improve with each class. I want to thank each and every one of you who have followed along on this amazing journey with me. THANK YOU, to all of you, from the bottom of my heart! More to come everyone...I am not one to hit a goal and call it a day so be on the lookout for lots more from my Skillshare channel (find the link in my bio) Back to crafting those classes!
