Great professor, learned a lot and actually now enjoy drawing, very personable, friendly, and curteous. I definitely recommend!

Very knowledgeable about subject matter and understanding of the projects at hand. Obvioudly enjoys the subject and teaching it. Would take another class from her again.

Really Patient, so awsome

I really like this class. It is a lot of work but I am definitely learning and becoming a lot better at drawing. She has a good attitude. She expects a lot out of each student, so if you don't put in the extra hours, she will disapointed, plus it will really get you behind in the work.

an alright teacher, she wasn't very helpful in telling me how i could improve other than repeatedly telling me to work on my line weight and then not explaining to how

She does ask that you spend time on your assignments outside of class, it's not too much. Drawing 2 is more structured, she gives you a lot of freedom for the final. In Drawing 3 she gives you guidelines and then let's you spin it in your own way. Really cool assignments. It was the best/most rewarding class I've taken at SCAD so far.

You start from the basics in this class, and you don't feel like you are accomplishing anything for a few weeks. By the end of the class I realized how helpful she really was. She teaches you things that if you are already draw well you may have forgotten. I really enjoyed the class more towards the end. In the end, glad I took the class.

Like others have said, she tends to play favorites. This is especially annoying to those of us whose majors don't require a lot of drawing and don't have a lot of drawing skills, but need to pass the class for our major. Don't get me wrong; as a person, she's alright. As a teacher...well, unless drawing is your life, I would find another professor.

I will agree she does choose favorites, but she chooses the people who put the effort and time into their work. That's not a crime. Going into drawing 1 I was very nervous, but we did a lot of exercises that help you loosen up. Drawing 2 was very difficult. The work load for both classes was heavy. Overall, she's a great teacher.

She does like to use charcoal. She loves to see her students come out of class to work on the assignments given. As long as you show that you put effort into your work she will give you a fair grade.

She's a good teacher one on one but when she's addressing the whole class she's really repetitive and not very helpful. Horrible critiques, too.

She's a great teacher. Very traditional, but you will learn. She actually teaches you how to draw and grades you based on your personal improvement not against the rest of the class or her standard. REMEMBER LINE WEIGHT!

I had professor Burgos for both drawing I and drawing II and while her methods are very traditional, YOU WILL LEARN. I came in with absolutely no drawing experience and now have great confidence and pride in my skills. She is very nice in critique. You will have to work hard but thats what we're here for and it's worth it, &don't listen to 2 down.

I adore Professor Burgos. Her class is not easy however, especially drawing 2. She is very helpful and she is open to your opinion about projects. She always offers extra help sessions and always gives you helpful feedback completing a drawing. Critiques are very easy going. I will definitely take her again for the 3rd time. Take Her!

I have taken Drawing I and II with professor Burgos, and I am currently taking Life Drawing I with her. If you are in a drawing heavy major (Sequential, Illustration, Animation, etc.), TAKE HER! She properly teaches sighting. She's very kind and will gladly sit down to talk about your school work and personal art. Ignore the bad review 3 down.

Burgos is tough, and you'll draw your butt off, sight like crazy, and spend many, many hours in front of still lifes, but it's all worth it in the end! Projects are time consuming, but definitely portfolio worthy. She's very helpful with critiques, a fair grader, and just a great person in general! Take her! Your skills will improve tenfold!

Burgos is an amazing teacher. Yes, she does make you work hard, but I promise the class is worth it if you are willing to put the effort into it. I learned so much from her. I took her for both Drawing 1 and 2. I would take her again in a heartbeat.

She is a great teacher! She is nice and grades you for improvement. She is really helpful. Expect homework every weekend. Study for quizzes! You only have to write an essay so thats nice. I highly recommend her! Take her if you are willing to work hard.. youll improve al ot!

She is Helpful and great with teaching drawing mechanics. the class is alot of work be prepared to do some late night grinding. She is a reasonable grader and a fairly nice person as long as you act like an adult.

I've never met a teacher that was so dedicated to her students. She was CONSTANTLY having extra help sessions. I never had the time to go to any of them, but I really would have liked to. She posted video tutorials and will help you with ANYTHING, just ask! She's so nice and will constantly get you motivated and inspired. I loved her class.

Burgos is extremely helpful. She wants you to learn the concepts and is willing to draw out the basics if needed. I feel like she pushes everyone regardless of talent and teaches more of fundamental concepts and how to construct your drawings rather than to make pretty pictures. She was a wonderful professor. I would easily recommend.

Burgos is a wonderful teacher. Absolutely dedicated to her students, kind and helpful to talk to, and really appreciates you if you give back a high level of effort and dedication to your studies. Very traditional in her approach, and you will learn how to draw well, IF you are willing to put in a lot of hours. Take her only if you want to learn!

Professor Burgos was wonderful! She encourage everyone in drawing. Her critiques are helpful and she is extremly dedicated to her students. She opens extra help session almost every friday. Instructions are very clear, easy to understand. I would recommend her to anyone, especially to those who are afraid of draw.

I learned a lot in this class. My work improved so much. However, she's a tough grader. She doesn't give out very many As.

I chose to have professor burgos two quarters in a row. she is SO helpful and knows every little thing about drawing. she is very clear and structured in what she teaches. she goes over every little technique separately and clearly with her demos. i have learned so much in her class, more than i ever thought i would about drawing.

I loved Burgos for the most part. I had her for Drawing I and saw a significant improvement in my work and learned a lot. She has very strict project perimeters and doesn't leave much wiggle room, and you're expected to put in a lot of time and effort, but she definitely knows what she's talking about and is incredibly helpful.

Prof.Burgos taught me a lot of crucial concepts in drawing. I built strong foundation in drawing and also improved tremendously. She makes you work everyday and also always there to help you if you need a help. She is a wonderful caring person and love to help students out. Take her class, you will improve a LOT.

She is an amazing teacher, she has taught me so much and she cares for her students. She is not easy but you should not be looking for an easy class because you will essentially learn nothing from it. She challenges you and helps you grow and improve. I will be taking her Life Drawing course next quarter and I am looking forward to it. Take her!

She is an excellent teacher, but a tough one. I learned a lot from this class (go to the extra help sessions!) She really helped me improve my drawing skills! HOWEVER - if you plan on taking a (relatively intensive) class you will probably have trouble with the work load. Just make sure to follow her instructions to the T & you will be fine :)

Be ready to have to do a LOT of sketchbook work, practice assignments, and then the actual projects. She talks for the first hour or so about the same things, just repeating herself, and then you finally get to draw. Share the textbook if she makes you get one, not worth getting your own.

Burgos is a fantastic teacher! She makes you work for your grade, and only gives out a few A's, BUT YOU WILL LEARN! She gives really good demos, and her projects are clearly outlined. Be prepared to come into the studio on weekends; she gives in and out of class projects for each unit. Just don't get behind on sketchbooks, which is easy to do.

Burgos is a great teacher-I learned so much and I feel more confident with my drawing skills! She starts with line drawings (and you get a lot of practice)-only our very last project is full-value, so she's the perfect teacher for a beginner! HOWEVER-she gives a LOT of work, so you need good time management, or else this class will be tough.

She's a tough grader, but she gives plenty of feedback while working on the projects/sketchbook. Expect a LOT of work; however, also expect a decent amount of in-class time to work on projects. Her class requires a solid work ethic, but you definitely will learn in it.

A lot of people think she's a tough grader but u just have to follow her grading instruction and u'll be okay. She really cares and gives pretty solid feedbacks.

She is a great professor and if you pay attention and try to learn, you will get a high grade. If you are lazy or don't give it your all, you will find yourself behind.

Professor Burgos gives great feedback and wants her students to succeed if they are willing to put the work in. All of her projects allow you to explore different media, but force you to do a lot of process work. After taking this class I have improved SO much with practice and have realized how important process work is.

Good Reliable Professor

She is such a sweet, hardworking, passionate professor that challenges her students to be their very best so they can be the best artists possible. I've taken her for Drawing I, Drawing II, and I will be taking her again for Life Drawing I. She is lovely and answers any questions you may have!

You will learn so much more and receive greater direction from Burgos than from any of these other teachers. Ive noticed some complaints about her prolonged demos, all of which are done to help you understand the process. You have to work but honestly? This is nothing compared to major classes.. Id love to take her again for life drawing!

Professor Burgos is such a great teacher! She gives a lot of work, but you become such a better artist because of it. She genuinely cares about her students and wants them to succeed. I definitely recommend taking her especially if your major is drawing based.

I love Burgos. I had her for three quarters in a row. Lovely woman, gives great straight forward critique that never tears you down. Very challenging class, but she makes sure you are a pro at whatever you're learning by the end of the course. She is a gem.

Professor Burgos was a great drawing 1 Professor. I didn't get to chose who I had for Drawing 1 because I took it first quarter of freshman year, but I was very happy having Professor Burgos. She is very patient and gives good, very helpful feedback on projects. She was very quick to learn every students name which was nice.

Professor Burgos is a great professor, very inspirational. You can tell she like to teach. Some of my fellow students think she is tough but I think she really what us to learn. I learned so much from her. I'm not here to just pass the class, my parents are spending a lot of $ for me to learn. Thanks you professor Burgos for all you do.

Burgos is a great professor, she reminds me of Mr. Maharrey (the best professor EVER !) she is tough and passionate. If you don't like to work and learn this is NOT the professor for you. I'm not going to say that i suck at drawing before but if you see some my final project you will be surprised. I learned so much !!! Thanks professor Burgos !!!

Professor Burgos is a super nice person. She cares about what students think of her class, asking us what she can improve to make it more fun. We did 4 major projects (Time consuming but rewarding!), complimenting them with small exercises per week and process books. She helped me become better at drawing and more careful with sighting. Loved her!

At first I didnt really enjoy Burgos class, but she really grew on me. She expects a lot out of you but as long as you really put in the time and take her advice, youll do well.

Prof. Burgos is a true gem! She is really attentive and if you care about the subject and put some effort you will get a good grade! She gives great feedback and is super helpful! She uploads lots of demos so you are never lost and can get an idea of what she wants. She is super sweet and caring with her students.

Great teacher, but you have to be very specific about what you are asking for. If you zero traditional media experience I wouldn't recommend taking her as she typically explains things in a way that only makes sense if you think like a traditional artist. Otherwise, she's a solid teacher! Assessable outside of class, and very involved.

Professor burgos is a nice lady, very thoughtful and tough. She definitely knows the subject but she gives a lot of work.

I am so glad that met Professor Burgos in the first term of my SCAD life. She is serious, some time do not give us homework clearly, she does not know how to give feedback softly. However, she is really want us to be better, she gives me many help after class and explains to me patiently. I have add her class for next quarter as well.

Burgos is great if you are passionate about art and actually want to grow your skills! I am spending a lot of money to be here and I do not want a teacher thats not going to push me. Thats why I am going to take this teacher every chance I can get. One crit is that i would like to have more time to finish projects and spend less time on process.

Prof. Burgos is definitely good at what she does and truly cares about her students. I had a lot of freedom on projects and got better at backgrounds and perspective drawing. She is very accessible out of class and had lots of helpful resources. My only complaint is that I wish we had more time on our actual projects and less on the process.

Brush up on your use of charcoal. 9/10 you will be using charcoal as your medium for her projects.

While scary at first Professor Burgos is truly a caring and amazing teacher. I am so grateful to have had her for DRAW100. I feel like I learned much more than my friends with other drawing teachers. Be prepared for a lot of work! All the work pays off if you really try and are open to learn new techniques.

Professor Burgos always helps to ensure her students are understanding the actual concepts and theories and provides great feedback and suggestions. If you have a small live session class, she will focus on helping you out first before moving onto the lecture/demo. If you are an asynchronous student, she will give video feedback specific to you.

Provided extra help sessions on weekends, personalized video feedback to asynchronous students, plenty of demo videos that are right in the modules (so easy to find). DISCUSSION BOARDS MATTER!!! Don't forget those! Very kind and wonderful to interact with and provided not only helpful feedback, but will also do draw along suggestions for your work.

I just wanna say that Professor Burgos is an amazing person, even though some of the major projects are kind of difficult due to the media that we use and the process, she explains everything clearly, answers the emails very quick (in the worse case it could take 2 days as a max) and will make sure that you leave the class with a lot of progress.

May not be every student's teaching style, but highly effective in improving skills. You'll quickly see who can and cannot keep up with the course which may be intimidating to new students, especially those who have no experience. Pen,Charcoal,Graphite on large scale projects. Go into this class with a good attitude and you will improve immensely.

Gave long demos which were helpful as someone who never took a drawing class or worked with charcoal before and I felt like I learned a lot. Incredibly specific with how she gives points, but as long as you do your work it's not at all hard to pass. Not very understanding, but gives great feedback.

Professor Burgos really does know her stuff. Her classes are a lot of work but you will grow as an artist coming out of one of her classes. If you have questions don't be afraid to ask even if she does kind of come off as intimidating! You have to be able to time manage when taking one of her classes so be prepared!
