"I liked art before too, but Meredith made art more fun. I love art but I only knew how to draw a stick man before this. Five stars."
​- Marin, Grade 5.
"I loved Meredith Wolting's workshop because I accomplished being able to draw something more than a stick figure. It was amazing to see an actual artist. She was very clear with her instructions which made it more simple than it seemed. 6/5 stars."
​- Rachel, Grade 5.
"I can draw better now that she taught me how to draw. She was very clear on the steps. I don't normally like art but she made me love art and now art is fun for me. 5 stars."
