Code wiz took the time to acclimate him so he would be comfortable and have fun. Even before Day 1 of camp, Code Wiz was responsive to my inquiries and willing to help us with any questions we had.

A gallery and studio owned and operated by one artist, Catherine Martin, who both creates and…read moredisplays her work here as well as uses it to teach students. This is a working studio. Unlike most galleries exclusively for displaying finished art, this place has the look of an art school. The back room has the requisite paint splatters, a color wheel of sorts on the wall and displays of student art. The front room, currently in the midst of a reorganization showcases the artist's work. The artist-owner, Catherine, assured me the canvases on the walls, leaning against the walls, or on the floor, would be displayed more appropriately once she finished rearranging them. In a way, though, the haphazard arrangement really made it seem I was seeing part of the creative process. The owner and artist was very sweet and took time to explain her inspirations. It was fascinating. Her works, and even those by her students, are in the impressionist style, with the vivid colors reminiscent of that era. There were canvases of all sizes, but the most striking for me was a small scene in the front window that Ms Martin said she painted of the area out behind her gallery. There was something about that picture that made time disappear. Nothing in it suggested it was a modern time or a modern work. It was captivating.

I get very real pleasure from the works of art that grace my walls - she brings a loving touch to every piece of art she creates. Personally, talking to her - she is a delight in every way. Warm, genuine and civic minded she is a credit to her community of artists and to Apex. She gives of her time and talent to wonderful causes and wherever she has been or wherever her art hangs is made so much better for it. I simply adore her and am so glad that my realtor, 10 years ago, drove me down Salem Street and I looked into her studio window and just went ahhhh!!!!

The last class he learned to use different hand planes to hand - carve traditional molding profiles. Tomorrow he is going to learn to sharpen saws. Where else can you learn things like this?

We are lucky to live less than an hour away, and are looking forward to taking many more classes in the future!

This is my second go round at working toward a degree program at Strayer. This campus is small and…read morethe teaching here seems to be very good. The program I'm in is geared toward the non-traditional student and this seems to be the demographic Strayer targets. They have a security guard on campus so when classes are getting out in the evening, those who feel a bit insecure about walking out to their cars can probably get an escort. It might be better for me to wait and give a detailed review as I get further into the program as opposed to in the middle of my first class.
