People Love Maine College of Art & Design

I love being at Maine College of Art & Design. I applied and was accepted when I was 51, the same time my youngest kids were applying for schools. I have thoroughly enjoyed all my classes, majored in painting and minored in writing. They have all been challenging. I have taken such a variety Art History classes as well as others not necessarily associated with art. I thought the Pirates class last spring was one of the best. This semester, Chinese Painting and Calligraphy looks fascinating. Now that gatherings are back in person, the school is also having more Continuing Education classes on the weekends and during the breaks, getting back to normal.
