I like how Armand tailored his content to each student specifically to push them as designers. It wasn't a cookie cutter method; he valued each artist based on their interest, guiding them through each week as time progressed. He's once-in-a-lifetime artist that truly cares about the artist and their craft.

I thought he had taught us well, giving the extra time of the Q&A to help the class how to approach our work, and help us improve.

This is my second time taking a class with Armand. I really enjoy his teaching style and love the fact that he always has feedback for our work. His teaching style allows us to become more of a thinking artist which I find a huge plus. On top of the fact that he always shows interest.
