Review
The program was quite fulfilling. Having to make art in the middle of a lovely pastoral scenery was an inspiring experience. The community was quite loving and I felt like I belonged, especially with the staff. Adam was a great teacher, Bogdan was really nice and taught me a lot in the kitchen and Cage and Amber were super enthusiastic program directors. I really learned a lot about independent living between the kitchen and the residential life. The many field trips gave me the true Normandy experience, and the artistic concentrations helped me develop as a creative. I feel a lot better about my art and I feel like I spent my gap year doing something productive while also having a lot of fun ;)
