CollegeI love Professor Kip! He is an amazing lecturer and you can tell he really cares about the subject and his students. The projects were interesting and gave students a lot of artistic license. If you like art, you will love Kip. But, if you are only taking this for a GE and don't care about the subject, you probably will not like the class.
Good speaker, inspiring, interesting, but rude. The most awful thing is to have political related topics in class. PLEASE STOP MENTIONING ANY POLITICAL ISSUES AS "ART" DURING THE LECTURE!
I learned a lot from this class, I definitely recommend taking it! In order to do well though you must be willing to be very vulnerable. The class dynamic is super refreshing because its a lot different from the rest of your classes since its centered around the intersection of art/ life and everything else in between. (No essays or midterm)
So, this is tough. I absolutely loved this class. I loved my TA. I'm very much and introvert, not performance oriented. I put my whole heart and soul into this class because I truly wanted to grow as a person. It was painful and hard and a little grueling, but I was still graded harshly. I'd take it again, but keep in mind it's emotionally hard.
Kip was amazing. I loved his class-lectures, AND sections (probably because my TA was absolutely amazing). Despite lecture being 2 hours long, they flew by super fast and I was always looking forward to going to class. You will definitely need to jump out of your comfort zone for the projects but it's worth it! AN AMAZING CLASS. LOVED ITTTT!!!
THE BEST teacher for creative studies. He is loud, creative, clear, intelligent, and I would honestly go to the lecture when I wasnt enrolled in the class. MUST TAKE HIS CLASS IF YOU CAN!
