I 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!

projects tend to be more performance-based (albeit open ended). but the art he exposes you to in class is overwhelmingly diverse. fast talker and good orator. if you can see past his politics and slightly intimidating presence he has a lot to teach and he is passionate about it in a way you will rarely see at this university, or anywhere.

Really fun class, he is awesome!!!!!!

KIP IS HOTT!!~ you gotta get creative for this class. section feels like a waste of time. lectures are AMAZING! projects are kind of challenging but worth it!

Kip blew my mind.

he's so interesting. i was weary of having a two hour lecture, but his projects are really cool and the class goes by super quickly. it's definitely my favorite class that i have taken so far!! definitely take this class if you want an interesting class --we'll be working hard though, it's not a mickey mouse course.

i hated this guy and hes like obsessed with himself he thinks hes like the coolest guy ever but really hes just a jerk dont ever take 7A and it should be called dramatic art not studio you dont even paint anything seriously the worst quarter of my life

pointless. art rhymes with fart. I read paper bullets, he's so (not) hot. despite that, great lecture. Laughed my ass off 1/3 of the time and I liked other artists work, not his. Papier ****.

he's a great performer/lecturer. He makes the lecture interesting. He didn't much participate in the sections & that was a shame.

Very engaging and fun lectures. Teaching style is very entertaining. Class subject matter is fun and exciting...I was the Horny Bear for the personal space project Spring 2004...what more can I say?

the class is pointless, you learn nothing yet its requiered. your experience of the class has eveything to do with your ta. make sure you pick a good one cause they grade you.

He's an awesome lecturer, insightful, very helpful, and actively participates in the sections. I want to do an independant study with him.

nice to look at. course is ODD. fun IF you are an art major, if not, a little CRAZY. lots of work, projects weekly, 4 hours of disc a WEEK. the point of the class is rather unclear to me even now

He's really nice and a great lecturer but the class is weird. They try to tell you it's not a performance art class, but it is. I wouldn't recommend it if you're not an art major or really outgoing. You have to take your final in an alternate persona.

GREAT professor! I recommend any class he is teaching. He is funny, talented and very interesting!

I think he's kind of pompous

Kip is amazing! If you show dedication, he will help you grow immensely as an artist.

He takes advantage of the most marginalized students because we are the ones who turn to personal narrative. He pushes students to overshare because his classes are more for voyeurism than expression. Me and a few friends all took his class and liked him at first and due to his conduct we ended up with more trust issues.

cool dude don't get me wrong. I loved everything about the seminar. but I've come to realize he's a little conceited and tells the same stories over and over again which I find annoying. good teacher tho. just needs to be grounded a little. only assignment is to read HIS book about HIS life in the seminar lol
