  Review of Nils Osmar, April 05, 2009

  I've taken several classes from Nils at the Wonder school and Experimental College. The most recent one was the screenwriting class, It’s Time to Write Your Screenplay.

  I learned an amazing amount in five weeks, and got lots and lots of practice. The class energized my writing, cleaned up some problems I was having, and gave me focus. The exercises were almost unbelievably helpful, to myself and other students. The feedback was GREAT. I improved a lot and saw tremendous improvement in several other students’ writing, as the course went along.

  Nils’s classes are well-structured, fun and very professional. I recommend this class to anyone who has ever daydreamed about writing a screenplay.

  Review of WRITING FICTION & short stories, November 06, 2008

  I took the writing fiction and short stories class in summer 2008 through the experimental college, taught by Nils Osmar. I found it on Craigslist and signed up online on the experimental college web page. It's a good class. I got a lot of writing done, worked some kinks out of it and learned a lot. Nils covered all the basics and cleared up some things I had been wondering about. As a teacher he is encouraging, but also will tell you if there is a problem with your writing, and help you get on track and get it figured out. Five of us got together after the class for a writing group which was another thing I had been looking for, which Nils encouraged and gave us some good suggestions about how to set it up.

  Review of ACTING, August 15, 2008

  Took it in the spring, it's a really great class. I looked forward to it every Monday and I'm sorry it's over. Nils is a great guy and great teacher, he is ballsy and takes chances, and that gives students permission to do the same thing. I would recommend this class to anyone whether they are looking for a place to have some fun and let off some steam or if they are serious about acting and want to get hooked up to the acting scene in Seattle.

  On the first night of class, Nils was showing us about improv, he got up and did some improv with this lady, she had never acted before and suddenly it was totally real. He created a safe environment and one where you can take a chance and try things. Learned a lot, highly recommend it.

  Review of DRAWING for absolute beginners, August 15, 2008

  When I started taking these classes, my feeling was, if you can teach me to draw, you can teach anyone. Nils's beginning drawing class was very helpful. He was friendly, well organized, and went through it step by step. The homework assignments and in class feedback were really helpful. I would highly recommend this class.

  Review of Cartooning for beginners, August 15, 2008

  I love all of Nils's classes! We covered an amazing amount of information in four meetings, got lots of practice. It was mostly adults but there were a couple of younger ones there. Nils treated everyone with the same respect regardless of the students ages. I loved the exercise in inking, and how it changed the artwork, and the exercises in drawing faces and in putting figures in action. I'll be back for more classes.
