What a splendid idea and successful result! You captured my attention hour after hour and the genre of modern art which I had eyed somewhat suspiciously up to then, became accessible to me.
Graduate of the courseThis is the best digital tool that I have ever seen and used. It is a great delight to learn more about art with this course.

It was with great enthusiasm and pleasure that I worked through the modules. From my point of view - I am in IT and for me art is the antipole to one and zero - both the concept and the implementation are very well done.
User of the courseI don't know of any media project which is so convincing and of such high quality as this one: outstanding design, excellent media implementation, a great visual experience, an exciting treatment of contents, highly aesthetic, informative and entertaining with a personal guide throughout. Thank you so much. I will certainly recommend you.
