I can't say enough good things about Kirk as an instructor. I love the format that he uses for his classes. He makes Modern art so accessible for everyone. I really didn't know the first thing about Contemporary art or painting beforehand and I was just looking for something fun to fill my time with. He has a real talent for encouraging and inspiring students. I think that I can honestly say that everyone leaves his classes feeling great about themselves and their work. He is approachable and has introduced me to so many fascinating artists and their practices. It has been a positive experience which has led me to want to take future courses with Avenue Road School of Art.
