Similar sentiment to some other reviews on here. Spent $140 on supplies and used probably $25 of it. His weekly projects aren't necessarily difficult, but INCREDIBLY time consuming. I wouldn't say his lectures are boring, but they definitely feel long.

I spent over $160 on art supplies for this class that he said were required and I didn't even end up using most of them. We had projects every week, some of them requiring you to go to the classroom to use the materials there. He always took points off of projects for no reason. The lectures are extremely long, boring, and hard to pay attention to.

If you're just taking this for the units- don't, definitely one of my biggest mistakes ever. So many necessary materials, so many hours of work poured into the projects, so many tears shed over it.

Lots of homework. Really a TOUGH grader!!! Not clear about some grading criteria so really don't know why some points were taken off. There are weekly quizzes and they are based on really detailed stuff from the two-hours lecture.

His lectures are SOOOO BORING!! But he quizzes on minor details! There are 30+ assignments in 10 weeks! Time commitment++. A HARSH GRADER! You have no clue why he takes your points. He will praise your idea but then give a low grade. Require many art materials, but you will not use most of them.

Amazing professor with true passion, funny, accessible, understanding, talented. He gives good feedback on the projects, which aren't hard but are time consuming and he actually looks at them. Quizzes are easy if you go to class, he shows cool stuff in lectures, hopefully I can take him again. Rare to see profs w experience and teaching passion!
