The ONLINE experience: Tanya simulates a studio teaching environment. Classes are conducted in real time, full of live demonstrations and direct instruction. Classes sizes are kept at 10 students to enable individual attention and critique. Classes are conducted via zoom and we simultaneously use Padlet, an educational platform, for sharing class content and images.
