Testimonials


We work really hard to provide the best art classes and a lovely school. Here are just a few of the nice things people have also emailed us to say.

I've enjoyed the prompting of new ways of creative thinking through the workshop classes, then taking them through to the three week open work classes to develop something new and very unique to my own art journey. Karen is outstanding. She listens to your artistic dilemmas and somehow gently makes you feel able to move forward.

I just had to write to you! I have just enjoyed the most amazing (albeit exhausting!) week. I have done a little painting previously, but have learned so many new techniques and skills.
- Paula

The range and number of ideas and links have been awesome. Zoom worked so well.
- Maureen

I don't think I have ever thought about my art projects or any art before as much as I have done in these last few months.
- Sara

Thank you so much for a really informative and very well put together term of great art teaching.
- Fiona

I thoroughly enjoyed every moment. Looking forward to next term via zoom and have been inspired to work through the holidays.
- Tina

Wanted to write and say thank you for this term. The staff have been amazing and you have all given so much of yourselves. I have enough material from this term to keep me going for several years I think!.
- Barbara

Just to say a huge thank you to the team for a fantastic summer school for 11-15 year olds. My son learned so much in the four days and keeps drawing. The amount of fun and knowledge within four days is truly impressive. You’ll see us at one of your classes hopefully soon.

I have been meaning to write to you about the Wednesday eve life drawing class at Insight. It is a popular class with a huge positive energy, mainly due to our tutor Michael Kirkbride. We all talk about how fortunate we are to have such an encouraging passionately spirited teacher. His enthusiasm for creating is infectious.
- Helen

I believe the classes helped me to improve my work so much so that I received an A* at GCSE, which I didn't think was possible until attending Insight School of Art.

Ruby has had such a lovely time at art class, and I have been amazed at the quality of work that she has produced under yours and Lara's guidance. I am so glad that she has attended for the year and a half that she has, you are able to provide so much more than she ever would get just at school. Thank you to both you and Lara for all your help and guidance.
- Amy

Art has been so important this year and it's is so good to be in the class. I have received so much support and encouragement, and cannot speak too highly of Michael, a brilliant inspirational teacher and caring as well! .

I also wanted to add my thanks to you for creating the right environment and opportunity to give Anjali a taste of what being creative is all about. It has given her the confidence to believe she has a skill that others might admire and opportunities to proudly show her work either at end of term displays or ISoA exhibitions (she still talks about winning a prize). Those opportunities can only give her confidence and stand her in good stead as she takes the next steps in her formal education..
