“Marshall’s Composition Class. One of the most important classes I’ve ever taken.”
“An enlightening, well-paced, intellectually and artistically challenging course. I had never had ‘composition’ taught to me so clearly and comprehensively before. Kudos, Marshall! A must-have course for visual artists.”
—Christian Hill

“I got more practical knowledge from that [Composition] class than from many of my other art classes. Those principles apply to Graphic Design too.”
“I can’t begin to explain how amazing your Composition Course was, I simply loved it. I live in the valley so I had to drive a little over a hour to get home, as I drove my mind absorbed the knowledge that was just given to me and how it relates to my life and work. Thank you so much, you have gained a returning student.”
—Daniel Urbach
“Very inspiring and useful for my work. Thank you so much. It was a great class.”

—Dorene Linnen
“I can’t begin to thank you enough. You can captivate and educate like no other.”
