What our Happy Student Say
As a student, my great achievement was to obtain my illustration certificate from Casa Azul. Because thanks to that course I have been able to use everything I learned for my class proyects and also for personal projects. For example, about a month ago I created an illustration for the MEChA club, which is a leadership group in the school that represents Hispanic culture and I am part of the designer team. Through this course I was able to create an illustration for a mural that the MEChA club wants to create at school.

“The explanation in the course is very good and it is very practical due to time, there are courses that become tedious because they are very long, this one, in particular, I liked a lot”
