About This Class

Do you love getting inspired by other artists' artistic approaches and artwork? 

I love getting inspired by the artistic processes and imagery of other artists. It's always so fun to learn about their creative process, artist journey, and explore their art approaches as we continue to grow and explore within our own artistic journey.

In this class we'll take a few minutes to do a brief overview of Pop Artist Andy Warhol's life and some of his artworks. Then we'll explore how Warhol utilized bold blocks of color to create his Pop Art portraits. Then we'll sketch out ideas for our own Pop Art inspired portraits. Then we'll learn a collage technique that uses colorful construction paper to build up our Pop Art portraits. In a bonus lesson I'll share how you can create multiple portraits uses the same original portrait collage pieces. If portraits aren't your thing, then check out Andy Warhol's artworks featuring objects and popular brands. 

By the end of this class you'll have: 

  • Learned a bit about the artwork of Pop Artist Andy Warhol
  • Looked at a variety of his artworks and explored his color blocked portraits
  • Explored portrait sketching to plan out collage sections
  • Learned how to take your sketch to separate collage pieces to represent parts of your portrait idea 
  • Created a fun, colorful collage portrait artwork in the Pop Art style with room for your artistic interpretation

This class is intended for art history loving, creatives of all skill levels as we look to artists of the past and present for inspiration in our own artistic journey.

Hi, I'm Elisabeth Wellfare a United States based artist and art educator with seventeen years high school Art teaching experience. In 2017 I published my first children's book which I illustrated and authored called The Dinosaur Family. Then in 2024 I added some new Dinosaur family members and created a "for all ages" coloring book. Both publications are available through my website. When not creating art or teaching I am taking care of my two adorable boys Oliver and Winston. They love to get into mom's art studio and create alongside me.

I love exploring a wide range of art media including ink, colored pencil, watercolor, acrylic, embroidery, and photography to name a few. I take any chance I get to work on mixed media artworks and push the boundaries of how to create. ... See full profile

Transcripts

1. Introduction: Hi, I'm Elizabeth and welcome to my class inspired by the work of Andy Warhaol. We're going to be using the method of collage to create different color blocks to represent the imagery that is going to be inspired by Warhaol's work. So he was doing screen printing and creating these really bold color blocks and layering on some really graphic black lines. We're going to strip away the black line unless you want to go there and use color blocking in a collage method to use construction paper to represent the bold graphic nature of pop art and create some really fun portraits of made up pop art people as we get inspired by Warhaol's work and find our own unique way to explore collaging portraits or objects. You can go either way because he did portraits, and he also did different popular objects and common objects throughout his art making practice as we create really fun pop art portraits. This class is intended for creatives of all skill levels who want to get inspired by artist and art movements of the past as we look for new and fun ways to create in the present and future. I hope that it is a class that gets you inspired, has you exploring some art making approaches that maybe aren't as familiar to you or revisiting some that perhaps you explored in the past, and all the while having so much fun, creating our own pop art a Warhol, inspired artworks. Let's send it over to the next lesson to talk about our class projects. See you there. 2. Class Project: For our class project, we are going to be getting inspired by the portraits and imagery of Andy Warhol. We are going to be looking at those for different kind of color combinations he worked with and the bold graphic way that he reduced down portrait imagery to create really fun pop art pieces. And then we are going to be designing our own portrait collage by sketching out some ideas you're welcome to check out resources that I've shared, which includes some more background information about Andy Warhol's life and art, as well as a PDF of different aspects of characters that you might want to put together to create your portrait collages. This is a great resource for anyone who's a little bit less comfortable with the drawing aspect of this. You can absolutely just draw straight in with the scissors, but sometimes it's kind of fun to plan it out and sketch it out in advance, and then you can also take that sketch. Use it as a planning document to figure out what colors you want to work with because we're going to be color blocking in each of the parts of our portrait. So definitely take advantage of the projects and resources section of class for this one. Then after you have sketched out your idea for your project and done some planning for what colors you want to work with, then we're going to pull out whatever construction paper you need. You're welcome to also use pattern paper, different decorative papers that you but pop art is really about those bold, fun, dramatic colors. So I recommend that you go with just solid color paper for this project. You can always add some other embellishments and personal aesthetic flair to your piece when you're done collaging it. And then with that construction paper, we are going to begin sketching out and cutting out the different pieces that we're going to need to assemble our portraits. Then we will be putting that all together, gluing it down, making it look fabulous. And if you need to, you can add in some pen details or marker details at the very end for some of those very tiny sections that might be a little hard to collage. You're ready to get started, let's head it over to the next lesson to talk about the materials you're gonna need for class. See you soon. 3. Materials: The materials for our Andy Warhol inspired portrait collage are very simple. I'm gonna be using a variety of different colors of construction paper. I've got scissors, I've got a glue stick, and then I like to use a scrap of copy paper as my glue station setup. So I do all my gluing on my scrap of paper, and then I can transfer the piece of paper that I want to glue down to the area where I'm working. So you're going to want to have whatever colors you feel like working with because we're looking at pop art and Andy Warhol for a really graphic bold, exciting imagery. We can use any fun bright colors under the sun and we don't have to worry about realistic color, but I do want to have black as well as white because it just kind is nice to have that as kind of a break between stuff. I do also find that these really bold pop arty collage portraits work better when you have some color contrast. So kind of think about some lighter and darker hues of color as you kind of play around. But you'll see what I mean when we get into the class project. Let's head on over to the next lesson to get into building up our Andy Warhol inspired Pop Part collage portraits. See Son. 4. Sketching Portrait: We're going to create our collage scraps. And one thing that I like to do is I like to sketch out my ideas. So I'm going to go ahead and grab my sketchbook. You can also do this on a scrap of paper, too. It does not have to be in a sketchbook. You could do portraits, like some of Andy Warhol's famous portraits like you can see here. You could also look at some of his other screen printed repeated imagery. You also don't have to play with repeated imagery, but I will show you in a bonus lesson how to go from one portrait to multiples if you would like to repetition was a big part of Warhol's process, but he also has a lot of one off pieces, too. So either way you go, it's going to be really fun. But it is fun to play with repetition. So definitely check out that bonus lesson for that project. It's going to start the same way that this one does, and then it's just going to show you how you can create multiples once you've created the foundation of your collage pieces. The first thing I like to do is sketch things out. Definitely, takes some time to head on over to the projects and resources section of class. See the different imagery and background information about Warhu's life and his art and his kind of journey during his artistic career. There's a lot of amazing ways you can approach pop art, and War hall did it in a lot of interesting ways. So kind of look for the imagery that you gravitate towards. Maybe it's more objects, maybe it's more the pop culture brands, maybe it's certain celebrities from the past or the present, or maybe it's just a generic portrait. I'm going to focus on kind of a generic idea because I think it's really fun to just kind of make up pop people and kind of leave it open to interpretation. We're going to need a basic shape for the head so I'm going to just kind of sketch in a general shape. Now, because we're going Popper, we can think of the traditional shape of a head and I am flattening it off because I know I'm going to put hair up there. Then it's pretty fun to play with different hairstyles when you do this. I'm very intentionally drying dark and I really thinking about how am I going to create the separate collage pieces that I need to create this portrait? I'm going to have a piece that's the face, a piece that's the hair, any accessories, a piece that might be the neck could be part of the head, that could be a single piece. This is also where you get to stylize it. So maybe you have a certain way that you like to create your people. It's going to come out in this and that's really cool. Then we've got the body because we're going to give it some sort of body, and then we can figure out the face. Now, we're simplifying it because we're thinking about the process that Warhol used for doing his screen printing. I'm probably not going to put a nose in because that's complicated to do, but it is really fun to play with lip shapes, and we can also think about the fact that Warh was working through some very awesome time periods when we think of style. You could play off of the time period or some sort of vintage retro vibe in the way that you style your portrait, or you could do it more contempor or you could do it more timeless, or you could go further back in history and do a really cool historical piece. I love the era of Jane Austin. I think it'd be really fun to do a Jane Austin ask character in this. Who knows? This could be something really fun and a whole series that you start to explore. Now I've the lips, I've got the start of the hair. I'm going to go ahead and do a bob, I think for this one. Just to get myself warmed up and that's going to be a great big circle. Now, we do want to think about where is the hair going to overlap the head? So if it's something like that. Then I've got lips, I've got things. The things could be a separate piece. That could be a separate piece that we cut out, that'd be pretty great. We can also think about how we can incorporate some different highlights or whatever into the hair. That's a fun way to play with it and give it a little bit more interest. Then the eyes are going to be whatever style eye you want to do. I'm going to stick to the fairly standard football shape and then I'm going to give some irises, the colored part of the eye and then some pupils. Then you can't see it, but I am going to include a light spot in there. I might include a little bit of definition in the lips. I'm not sure. I do also like to put accessories on my portrait collage people. I think I'm going to give this one a pearl necklace. And this is just a rough plan. We can absolutely modify this as we go, and as you get into cutting the paper, you're going to get some new ideas. You're going to see how you're going to need to problem solve and tweak and revise things. But that's all part of the artistic process. Now, if you are feeling very overwhelmed by the drawing stage of this class project, don't fear. I have created some general people templates, and you can mix and match those to create your collage people. Because what we're going to do is we're go to go from the drawing to creating them to scale on our paper. 5. Collage Part 1: And then I'm going to kind of think about what colors do I want to be? I could plan this out. I do kind of really like the idea of this being a bold yellow. I do want the pearls, I think, to be white. I think I want I mean, you can really play around with any color paper you have. I think, let's see, to go with the yellow, I think I'm going to do a teal for my face. And then I think I'm going to do a violet for the shirt. And then I'm going to do a red. For the lips, and then I think I'm going to give green irises. I might even have a non traditional color for the white city eyes. I haven't quite decided. The pupils, I think I'm going to keep black. So now I'm going to get organized to create my Andy Warhol inspired pop art collage portraits. I have a ton of different color papers. I'm going to be working on the medium side so that I can still have some smaller details, but I don't want to get too crazy overwhelmed by trying to go very large. You can choose whatever size you want to for your project. So I think the background of mine is going to be six by nine. So I buy my construction paper in nine by 12 inch sheets, and then I cut it down, and this tends to be a size that I like to gravitate towards because it's big enough where I can get into some intricate details, but it's not so big that it's overwhelming, and it doesn't take a lot of time to work on a project that's on the smaller side. But then I have some other sheets of paper that I cut down for some other stuff nearby. This is also a great project to use your scrap construction paper, especially if you're exploring some other projects and you kind of have that on the side. I always keep some stashes of scrap collage paper around construction paper and otherwise. You could also work with pattern paper for this if you want to. I really want to play off the solid bold colors that Andy Warhol used in his screen printed portraits. So that's why I'm going with construction paper over printed paper for this. But these classes are very much designed and intended for you to get inspired by the artists that we're looking at, and then adding any of your own artistic aesthetic sensibilities or preferences into them. So really, truly, this is the foundation, and you can go any which way you want with this, and it's going to be really fun to see all of these brightly colored pop art inspired portraits when everyone shares their project in the student gallery. There is a great class if you haven't checked it out. It is abstract Mixed Media collage. That is not part of the artist series. If you like collage and you like abstract and you kind of like getting inspired by paper scraps, I definitely recommend checking that one. Going to start with my teal head. So I've got some teal here. I know that I want to do it. Oh, I haven't depicted a color from my background. So I have yellow, green, teal, red, white, and violet. I want something that that teal is gonna pop off of nicely. I might just go with kind of a standard green. Ooh, a dark green. This is gonna be great. I'm going to use my dark green the teal is gonna show up and the yellow are gonna show up really nice off of this. So this is my base. So one side can be your drawing side and the other side can be where you kind of blew it down. But you just have to think about what the mirror image is gonna be. For the hat, I'm not worried about it. I want her to fill up most of this. So I'm gonna cut down my teal paper to the width of my green paper. This isn't necessary. I just find that this helps me figure out scale when I'm doing collage like this. And then I've got her body. So this is actually going to go up a little higher. It is okay to have this be bigger than we're planning on. Bigger is better because we can always trim it down. We can also adjust it, too. So I've got the head shape, and then I've got the neck. So I'm gonna go ahead and cut this out. I'm gonna go ahead and let it be bigger 'cause everything is gonna get overlapped as we build up our portrait. Right now, I'm just gonna cut it straight up. Kind of like it's a big glass. So it's just giving me more to work with. And actually, I should have probably made her face whider. But I'm gonna give her some pretty big hair. So we'll see if it's okay. If it's not, I'll adjust it. She's going to be more up like that. Now let's see if this is going to work. I'm going to take that golden rod yellow. Now, here's how we do the next step. We have the face and we have the neck. And we're going to put this on top of what is going to become the hair. Then I'm going to put it in the middle. I'm just going to sketch sketch out the shape. This is where I might have to trim it because this is getting extreme for a hairstyle, but it's going to be great for amis. I'm going to get the basic outline of the hair. Then I'm going to trim that up. I have the hair sorted out. We have great big hair. I'm just going to just map in where the sides of the head are. It's just a couple of little marks and then the top so I know where I can overlap. I need it to be bigger than that. I'm going to inside that mark, I'm going to draw in the inside style of the hair. And then I want to get that sushi. I'm going to have the sushi bang be a separate piece. For this one, I'm just going to kind of I'm going to do it like this. Now, trim out the inside where I want the face to peek through, and then we get to flip it over because we don't want our pencil mark showing through. Then we can see how this goes on our head. It's looking pretty great. I'm pretty happy with that. Now I'm going to use this scrap to create that fang shape that I want. I wanted it to go over and swoop. Then I want it to come now, I don't want these pencil lines to show. I can erase them, but sometimes when you erase on construction paper, it takes some of color out. It creates a ghosting. I'm going to actually cut a little bit on the inside of those marks so that I don't have those pencil marks anymore. If any of them sneak into the piece that I'm cutting out, I can just erase them. I have a teeny, teeny bit, but they were very light. I'm just going to lightly erase my marks. Now, here's the thing. That doesn't show I could make this mixed media and I could do a little bit with colored pencil say to make that darker or I could just pick a different color to make it different. This depends on how much variety you have in your construction paper colors. I don't have any other yellows. I don't think unless this one is, this one's a little later. Great. Okay. So I've already made the piece that I want. I just need it in a different yellow. I'm going to go ahead and trace this. For a shape that I cut out, so it becomes my stencil. Then I can cut that out to make my new lighter bang for this hairstyle. Race the little bit of mark I have there. That looks great. It's just enough of a difference where I think it's going to show up just fine. Fine enough. The other thing is, Andy Warhau worked a lot with bold black line, so we can always add in some bold black outline too to our picture. But first, we're going to focus on the collage part, and then you can decide if you want to add black outline or not. Before I move on to the face, I do want to focus on the shirt. Now I'm going to do the same thing I just did. I'm going to scoot the hair off to the side. The bottom edge of this is already cut to the size that I need. I'm going to go ahead and position this where I want it, and then I'm going to create the shoulders of my figure. You can decide what shape this takes and how many you can get into fashion design if you want to. I'm going to keep it fairly simple, I think. Then I'm going to mark I'm going to put my pencil where I want it, but I'm not going to touch so that I know I want to have this scoop down. That is not very symmetrical, but we can always do a little bit of cleanup when we get to the stage where we're cutting out. And it doesn't have to be symmetrical. So that's where that's going to fit on there. I think that's going to work really, really well. So now that I have that, I can start gluing things together a little bit. This is where I'm going to start to commit to some stuff. I've kind of figured out where this is going to go. So then I'm going to put a little bit of glue on the base of this and then glue my shirt to my neck. Then I'm going to flip it over, and I'm going to glue the whole back so that I can attach it to my background. Now, Warhol didn't work a lot with pattern, but other pop artists did. So if you wanted to, you could absolutely jazz up your background. I want to keep this one pretty straightforward. So I'm just going to deal with solid colors. Do color blocking for now. And then we'll see when I'm done with the collage stuff, I might change my mind and decide it needs more. So now I've attached my head and my body. So I'm going to go ahead and attach the hair next. So I'm going to go ahead and flip it to the drawing side, and I'm going to put glues. All over the hair shape because this is the next highest layer in my collage portrait. You can always kind of stick it and then slide it a little bit to a point. Now I'm going to add the swoopy bang. It's very tiny. I think I'm going to make it bigger. That's the other thing. You can constantly be editing. So to make it bigger, I'm going to lay it down on my paper. Where I'm working. I know you can't really see this, but it'll make sense in a second. I'm going to outline away from it. So I'm following the same curves. I'm just making it much bigger. Now I can cut it out and see if it's too big and if it's too big, then I'll just trim it down. So we're constantly adjusting our shapes and our scale, but you're in complete control. So don't feel overwhelmed by any of this. It should be really fun. So I have two of the same shape, but this one's much bigger, and I like that a lot better. I know it's a subtle shift. I know it's very, very subtle. You may not glue that down. 6. Collage Part 2: Yeah, the pearls and eyes and the lips left to go. I said I was going to do red for the lips. Let's figure out the scale of that. This is also where you can do a lot of exaggeration. You can personalize the style of this as much as you like. So really have some fun with how you create your person and what type of person you create. I bold, bright pop art colors aren't your thing, go with the colors that are your thing.This going to be really, really cool. So now, as I'm seeing this, I think I'm going to change my mind about the eyes, but I do want to commit to these lips because I think they're super cute. Let me put the lips down. I love how giant her hair is. Now you'll notice there's no jaw definition. I could absolutely add that. One way that I could do that by how we have the subtle difference in the hair, I could take a little scrap of a different kind of blue. And I could create just a little curve. It doesn't even have to be the whole way, just a teeny little bit of curve to create a tiny bit of definition. I can do that same thing for the nose too if I decide it needs a nose or it could be just a little bit of chin. What I could do is I could create a little cast shadow. This is your chance to really play and try out ideas. This can be a start of a shadow. I'm going to hang out of this piece and kind of decide. But I do like that idea. I don't think I'm going to do that. But it was fun to experiment and try. Let's figure out her eyes. I want to do green for the irises. One way to do this is to fold the construction paper in half. If we're doing open eyes, or anything symmetrical, it's nice to fold the paper and then cut out two, or you can draw one and then trace it like we did with the yellow for the banks. So for this one, I'm going to draw it out. These are way too big, but they may look really cool. I'm going to cut it out and then I'm going to trace it. I'm going to put it down. It's tricky when they're tiny, but it's worth. Cut out the other one. If you find that you're having a hard time manipulating these small pieces, you can use the tweezers. Sometimes that's easier than trying to pinch these teeny tiny pieces and you're going to get a little messier with the glue. That's just what happens when you're gluing small pieces. It's funny. Even when you trace something, they still don't end up the same size. So be careful if you're trimming, they don't have to be exact. It's really not necessary. I'm going to cut these a little smaller. I could have traced the whites of the eyes. I can use my pencil in a scoochem with the lead and put back inside the barrel. It's getting pretty small. What you can do for the pupil, and for the highlight in the eye, you can use markers because that'll work great. I like the funky shape of the irises. They got sloppy when I was cutting them out. Here's another trick. You can trace the white of the eye. This way, you know how tall you need it. Then you can fold your paper again. Because I want to be able to cut them out at the same time. This is definitely bigger than the white of my eye that I created. I cut inside of that pencil mark that's on the outside of that shape. I can get it back to the size it's supposed to be. Then just go slow and gently rotate the paper as you cut the scissor, and then you get your circles. We're going to compare green circle to the green wonky oval. I'm glad I cut the circles because now that I see them, the wonkiness on this one definitely bothers me. I'm going to just commit and I'm going to put some glue on the white of one eye and I'm going to put some glue on the white of the other eye. I'm going to get them sort of where I want them, and then I can adjust because at the very least I want them in line with the lips. You don't have to follow all the rules of portraiture. I do want them to be semi correct. I'm going to go ahead and glue in one iris and another iris. If you're feeling like you're up for a challenge, go ahead and cut out some even smaller black circles for the pupils. I'm going to go ahead and go in with a Sharpie. I just try to get them as even as you can. Then I'm going to go in with I found a white paint pen, a white pasta. I'm just going to be very careful. I did not go where I wanted to go. It's okay. It's really big. It's a really, really big tip, and it's a really, really small light reflection that I'm going for. So a elfin would be better. I could keep going with mixed media details, but I really want to stick to the collage. And I planned on white pearls. So this is really fun because we can do it as one single piece, or you can do it as multiple pearls if you want to. So what I'm going to do is I'm going to do it as nice big chunky pearls. So I'm just going to create a chain of circles that touch, and then I'm going to cut out. I'm doing it down below my collage because I want to be able to see where I want it to go up a little bit, so it overlaps the top of the shirt. I'm going to go from both sides. I'm going to do a botus one just to make sure I have enough to fill the whole area that I need. Then I'm going to cut it out and make sure that it is one single line of connected circles. Details like this would be easier to add in mixed media. So if that's something that you want to do, go for it 100%. Or if you happen to have some cool collage ephemeral, but I think it's kind of fun to create most of it, if not all of it in paper if you're able to because it's a really fun artistic challenge. See how can I troubleshoot it to get the look that I want to. And the great thing is, if I mess it up, I can either create another one or I can just kind of piece it back together since we're collaging. I get too committed to this. That's a little bit bigger than I wanted it to be. But I have a trick for that. So I can flip it over. I can just trim it up a little bit more. So I'm going to actually have my pearls end with this pearl. And then I may go ahead and glue it down. I use drawing paper for this part, so I didn't have any white construction paper close at hand. So I do want to kind of erase a little bit of my pencil, even though it's going to be on the backside, just because my paper is a teeny bit thinner than my construction paper. Put the glue on. Ad. Pearls. I do want to give her eyelashes. I'm going to do that with a fine liner. I'm going to make sure that it's working. This I'm also going to use this to define her upper lids a little bit. You don't have to do any drawn details if you don't want to. I very intentionally wanted to focus on this being a collage class because I know I tend to create a lot of mixed media classes. But sometimes it's nice to have the option and it works really great. Doing things like just a little bit of pops. I have done everything I planned on. I could give her just a teeny little indication of a nose, but I'm not going to Because I have the black there, I could add a little bit more linework. I'm going to go for it. It doesn't need more. I just kind of want to add a little bit. So I'm going to throw caution to the wind do a teeny bit of jaw definition. Little bit there. I'm going to do a teeny bit of pearl definition. Just like here and there. Trying to be super subtle about it without doing too obvious repetitions. Just a little bit. I could do a little bit of lip. It's a teeny bit. Not sure I like that, but it's there now. She doesn't have any eyebrows, but she also doesn't have a nose, so I think that's okay there. I want to do something to wear hair, but I don't know that black is the right thing. I'm gonna try doing something else with my pay pens. I have a yellow before I put it on there, I want to test it. I want to see if it's gonna how it's going to look on that paper. Like a teeny bit of then I want to make sure I don't mirror it, want it to be its own thing. Maybe that's all I do. Then maybe I can do the same thing in here too. Different kinds of construction paper are going to be more absorbent than others depending on their quality. This lighter yellow is very absorbent. It's sucking in that paint pen a little bit, but that's okay. I think it's working fine. See? Now this is where you start to go too far perhaps. I kind of how does this gonna look? Just take my purple. Purple and purple. It's pretty great. Might just do, like, a little bit of shadow. Just a little bit. Just maybe a little definition to her arms. It's more so as, like, a unifying factor with what I did with the lines in her hair. That's it. I'm cutting myself off. The last possible thing you might consider is a little bit of drawn in detail just to kind of really bring your character to life. I'm so thrilled with how she turned out, and I'm excited to do more of these. I love the play of the bold color. I love that it's kind of an homage to Addie Warhol, but it's still very much in my style. And yet, it's also something that I wouldn't have created if I wasn't looking to his work. These classes are really an opportunity to stretch yourself creatively and artistically and to kind of see when you take your own aesthetics and your own interpretation of ideas, and you weave them in with some of the concepts of different artists and ways that they approach art or even subject matter that they explored. You can come up with some really amazing things that are still very much true to you, but are pieces that wouldn't have come about otherwise. So let's head over to the next lesson to wrap up the class and definitely check out the bonus lesson if you want to see how to go from one portrait or one pop art object to multiples. And I'll see you a S one. 7. Final Thoughts: I hope you had so much fun exploring the work of Andy Warhol and pop art movement. Please pop on over to the student gallery on the Projects and Resources section of class and share some photos of what you created. Tell me how it went. What can you see incorporating into your future art practice? And be sure to check out the work of your fellow classmates. The classroom student gallery is a really fun place to see what everybody's up to, get inspired by each other, encourage each other and help each other grow. Also, please take the time to leave a review. I really appreciate your time. At that you're spending on this class, either learning it, applying the techniques, and then reflecting back on the experience, and sharing that out with others. That's my favorite part about the review option on Skillshare is that as a student, I love to share how I process the information, how I applied it, ways that I can see myself using it in the future. I love giving suggestions about added to a class, and it helps others consider taking the class and joining us on our pop art inspired Adventure. So thank you so much for taking the class.
