CollegeI learned a lot and grew as an artist. It was A LOT of work, though! I often spent 20 hours on his homework assignments, which are weekly. I tried my very, very hardest but never got full credit on an assignment, needless to say he is a tough grader. HOWEVER, he is always helpful and willing and kind. He just takes his job seriously! I recommend.
Absolutely, positively knows his stuff. Has a great sense of humor. Breaks down intimidating subjects into bite-sized, manageable chunks. Calls upon his extensive knowledge of both classical and contemporary art practice to demystify successful draftsmanship and uphold objective standards in representational drawing.
I had Professor Beltz for Intermediate Drawing. He is super helpful and kind, and has a chill sense of humor. If you follow his instruction you will do well and learn a lot! I would recommend him to anyone.
had him for beginning + intermediate drawing. highly competent, helpful+friendly. relentlessly drilled us through a very specific constructive+persepectival drawing method. its different and challenging, but useful and will make you a better drawer/painter. one of the best teachers ive seen here. take him '10-11 before he leaves ucsb!

Eric is by far the best Art professor I have ever had. I learned so much and grew as an artist in his class. I plan to take all of his drawing classes. He is definitely a role model because he is brilliant at what he does.
