I am SO glad I came across this article. I had no idea that the MoMA was offering these free classes and now that I do, I cannot wait to take advantage of it. It has been difficult for me to find a course based in fashion and I was ecstatic to see that the MoMA is offering just that. I would have to wait until the summer because I have to finish the course I am paying for at Carnegie Mellon, but once summer rolls around, I am more than happy to expand my learning. Art classes are expensive, especially from prestigious places. It is wonderful to see the MoMA offer these classes for free. It allows for anyone to take these classes and really expand their knowledge on the art world. I wish this was more publicized because I know a lot of people who would love to take advantage of these classes. I am glad I was lucky enough to stumble upon this article.

Wow!! I did not know about this, but I am so glad that I came across this article! I was just thinking it would be nice to take some classes after school ends but with all the uncertainty about when we will be able to go out this is a great alternative! I would love to take more photography classes! I was lucky enough that I was able to take a basic photography class in high school, but I would love to take some more advanced classes! I have been to the Museum of Modern Art several times and have enjoyed it each time! It’s a great museum so I am sure that their classes are of high quality! As a costume designer I am also very interested in fashion so I will definitely be checking out their class on fashion design! I think it is really wonderful that the art community is doing everything they can to make staying at home fun for everyone.
