Miss Chapman is a great teacher. You'll learn a lot from her, just take lots of notes and you'll do well on the tests. Do your part and use the studyguide. She's a bit tardy on returning papers. She's very approachable and SNL funny. Ask her what games she plays.

nice, enthusiastice teacher. some assignments were unclear and the test was disproportionate to the class. overall very interesting materical is covered but you have to take detailed notes, regardless of lenient lecture tone.

There is a ton of pictures you have to write a little bit about but she is fairly easy and layed back. Don't like art, liked the class.

I really enjoyed taking this class. She tells you how to pace yourself on the Image Journals so you're not cramming before the test. She has a review class before tests and only two tests in class. Go to all classes and get notes because you use your notes for your image journals and lectures are helpful for recalling info. on the tests.

First thing that struck me was appearance. Best looking prof I've had, aside from J.Terry. Super easy-going woman with a quick laugh. Easy assignments with only a bit of memorization required. Likes talkers. Don't buy the book though.

Prehistoric-gothic art. great class. she makes things very interesting, and her tests are fair, as well as the assignments. i really liked her as a teacher, and hope to take another class from her. two thumbs up!!!

Despite the structure of the class being kind of monotonous with just dense lectures everyday, Prof. Chapman's style is very engaging & her enthusiasm is contagious. She is very approachable & always willing to clarify. The class requires some memorization, but otherwise it's pretty easy to get the hang of how her class works. Highly recommended.

I took Art1B online and I really enjoyed the class, but if you are a perfectionist and want an A, make sure you go above and beyond. I never got a 10 out of 10 on one hw assignment, instead I got 9.5s. She grades very hard on analysis, as well. Overall, I learned a lot, but like I said... if you want an A, do a little extra for each assignment.

Awesome! I tried to take this class, Prehistoric through gothic art, through 3 different instructors and she was the only one who livened the subject and made me want to learn. AAA+++

AMAZING! My favorite teacher I have ever had! She is hip, cool, funny, and loves her art! she is a must!

One of the better teachers I've had, she is really into art and teaches it in a way you can understand. I had no interest in art prior to this class but she makes you want to learn more. I wish I could take more classes from her. Perfectionist grader however so don't expect an "a" unless you have perfect work.

I loved this class! I was not interested in Asian art at all, but was Sooooooo glad I took the class. The Prof is fun, cool, and loves art. It's rather infectious, and found I loved it and want to visit Asia! You don't get marked down if you don't attend, but you will fail the class if you dont. Loved it!

First off. This is an incredibly easy course. You can't get much easier. Anyone who complains should just leave college. Blindly memorize a few flashcards, and you'll get flying colors on tests and quizzes. She's a humorous professor and the lectures are very interesting. Probably the best Art History teacher around. Oh. And no textbook needed.

Sooooo hot!!!

I had a hard time in the class only because I was taking 17 units. A little bit of memory is required. Stay on top of the image journals that will help your grade and ask questions she loves that. She is a great teacher. Very understanding. Recomended.

She's an amazing art history professor. Brings the subject to life, makes you eager to learn more, and her class is structured so it's purely lecture based. She does have a textbook to get if you need it, but you don't NEED it to get an A. Her class is 5 quizzes, one dropped, 2 midterm tests, non cumulative for final, no group work, no essays.

Great teacher! If you do the work and pay attention to lectures you'll get a good grade! She is my favorite professor at Sierra!

Awesome teacher. Crystal clear in explaining work. Only 3 tests and 2 papers but the second paper can practically be made up. Also, doesn't hurt that she is very attractive.

Great teacher! I hate history, and didn't know that I loved art. I now love history and Art. So, just make sure you keep up on those Art journals, they will help you get your styles down. Great teacher, and very aproachable!!

I don't know how people can get below a B in her classes. She gives you the study guide with any and all possible questions to her test! Ask questions, memorize key phrases and points, and you'll be fine. There's a LOT of writing in her class but it could have been worse. She's definitely the best art historian sierra has.

Her enthusiasm is infectious. If you have any interest in Art History at all you will enjoy this class. This does not mean you will do well on the tests and papers because they are not a breeze, but study and attend every class. Oh and do the art journal!!

I don't particularly like Art or History, but her enthusiasm makes it as interesting as it can be and also makes the lectures tolerable. If you do the study guide, and the writing she asks, then it's an easy A. I came in knowing nothing, and not caring to learn, surprising I liked the class and she is the reason.

She is so enthusiastic about the subject and tells really interesting stories related to the history of the paintings and the time period they are from. Her class is my favorite, very interesting and informational. All you have to do is pay attention.

Took her online art class. Her assignments were clear, she gave plenty of time to do them, and she answered emails promptly. Learned a lot more about feminism in this class than I did in my WST 1 class.

She's amazing. I love Art History to begin with, but even if you don't it's worth taking her class. She has a way of explaining things so that it'll stick with you even long after you've learned it. Her class was really special to me.

NIce lady, tests and quizzes were in essay form, and for the most part where easy enough if you studied. Lots of memorizing Artists, dates, and identifying paintings. I never used a book and the online information she provided is vague considering how detailed your essays have to be. Don't miss her class if you can help it; lots of note taking.

I took History of Asian Art with her and she got me so interested i decided to become a History Major. She is amazing at teaching and gives plenty of time and preparation for exams.

Do not miss any lecture! This class is fun! Lots of slides, arguements ... and keep note taking, do your journals weekly!

She is very passionate about the history of art, but can talk too fast sometimes. The homework isn't hard, but takes some time. Keep up on the journals. Attendance is absolutely mandatory. She is good at replying to emails. Everything is due before the tests. Her tests are mostly short essays, but the questions are given way in advance.

Professor Chapman makes the subject extremely interesting. I had no interest in art history prior to taking the class, but now I am considering minoring in it. She is always willing to answer questions and spend extra time on a subject if you need it. But she grades the midterm and final way too hard unless you reiterate what she says word for word

Unrealistic expectations!! This class takes up all my homework time and I have 4 other classes! I spend hours reading and learning the techniques. The Journal entries are way too long. I wish this prof understood some of us work and go to school!! Ease up on the hmwrk!

Super helpful! I emailed her at the beginning of the school year feeling very afraid of the class and the work, but I am loving everything I am learning. I am new to the world of Art, I knew nothing before I took this class, and I look fwd to each week now. I show my 6 year old what I learn, too! Highly recommend.

She was great! I normally do not learn in art history classes but she made it fun! Just keep up with your journals and pay attention in class and you will be good to go! Taking another one of her classes again next semester!

Brenna is a phenomenal lecturer, she stays on topic, brings up a lot of "food-for-thought," and types out the lecture questions for us (we just have to fill in certain answers as she goes. I love this class. I recommend taking Asian Art with her because that is her specialty. EXCELLENT class. HIGHLY highly recommend.

Professor Chapman is amazing. She is very intense, passionate, friendly, and funny. Be prepared for her strong opinions. I think getting a broad range of perspectives is important especially in art history, but take everything with a grain of salt. Because what one teach says another doesn't. Draw your own conclusions, Brenna respects that.

Professor Chapman is okay. You really need to take notes as powerpoints are not posted on canvas (and they just contain pictures). Only two exams, mostly about our thought process on comparing styles of paintingsart. However, I would not recommend this class if you are not an art history major.

took this class because i thought it would be relativity easy, but it wasn't as easy as i thought it would be. there is definitely some influence of feminism in her teaching of this class, but it fits the context. i wasn't very interested in the subject before, but now I'll be taking another art history class next term.

Prof. Chapman is wonderful & very passionate about her subject. There are discussion boards, little quizzes, homework packets (that aren't hard if you put the time in), lectures and some videos from Khan Academy. She sets up class so well it is refreshing. She emails back fast. Her writing in her lectures in knowledgeable and easy to understand.

Prof. Chapman was great. Her discussions and lectures were so very interesting. She truly loves art and inspires her students to love it as well. I took this as an online class, and it was very manageable. One word of warning: On her tests, some of the answers may be found in places that are difficult to find, such as footnotes, so look for that.

Her written lectures are awesome. The material she covers is awesome. You learn incredible, life-changing stuff. The "homework pack" is way to vast, so beware of falling behind.... it's easy work but extremely time consuming if you want to do a thorough job on it. Other than the homework pack, this class is incredible and I highly recommend it.

Would not recommend for someone who is taking the class to just fill a requirement. All your answers have to original with no outside help or you wont get full credit. The test seem rushed because of the time limit but are easy if you read what is required.

I love this class and this professor. She knows what she is talking about and her lectures are fun and engaging. She assigns a lot of group work and all of the tests are really easy. Most of the class is just 4 exams and as long as you can defend your own opinion you'll get an A, and then an eportfolio project which is incredibly easy as well.

pleasantly surprised by how interesting she made the class. Lectures aren't bad (which is all the class is), you should take good notes and show up to class because the PowerPoints aren't online. I never touched the textbook, don't bother getting one. Quizzes are simple memorization, I would definitely recommend taking her!

This was my favorite class I took at Sierra College by far. Prof. Chapman is one of those rare professors who knows and loves her subject, and also knows how to translate that knowledge and passion into an effective class for her students. Very organized prof, facilitates excellent discussions, hard tests but no homework and a cool final project.

There is a lot of homework. Her class is not easy but you learn a lot. She answers questions all the time and provides feedback. Great professor.

Wow. AMAZING lectures. Brenna connects art to broader culture and has such a vibrant way of explaining it, classes go by so quickly. She's so genuine and has a true gift for teaching. (Sidebar, if anyone knows about MBTI, I am almost positive she's an INTJ. It's pretty amazing.) She is very clear and concise. Her assignments are not hard at all.

Many of my previous ways of looking at the world were challenged (in a good way). Passionate about her subject & wants to pass that passion onto her students. Fair grader, but "fluffy" answers are preferred, even if you can answer the question in 2 sentences. Homework packets take at least 3 1/2 hours, and you have a lot of them. Easy quizzes.

Brianna is an AMAZING professor! I absolutely loved her class! The whole class is just lecture, but she does an amazing job keeping it entertaining with her passionate attitude and engaging questions! You gotta show up for the lectures and do your homework packets or you'll be lost on the tests.

Prof Chapman is a good professor. She clearly knows a lot about her subject and is very good at articulating the content of her subject. Her homework packets in this class were a little tedious, but mainly because they were so easy that it just felt like info regurgitation. Overall, she was awesome and the class was fairly straightforward

Took two of her classes and enjoyed them both immensely. Would definitely take her class again and do recommend her especially if you are an art history major. She is a tough grader however she exams are based on what you learned in class and there are never surprises so you know what to prepare for. Super helpful at any time you need help.

Excellent teacher! She is patient, kind, and responds to all questions. Really enjoyed her class and her lectures. She has the ability to make you see the art and understand the culture behind it. Definitely take another class with her.

She is a high quality teacher, if you feel like learning something then take her classes. She will make you think about art history beyond the art and the history - you will end up considering much larger ideas and concepts as a result. She's fun to listen to, very engaged. More guys should consider taking her AH 132 class.

Chapman was by far my favorite class this semester. While I wouldn't consider this an "easy" class, Chapman is communicative, organized, and you can tell she is passionate about her subject. Homework includes a discussion post and some lecture reading every week, with tests every other week.

Brenna Chapman is a great teacher! I say participation matters because she actually utilizes the discussion board for one of the main weekly assignments. This is more than just an art class; it's a historical examination of women's position in society, and in my opinion, that's what makes this class so important.

There are weekly quizzes, quick writes, and DB's for each week in depts lecture & notes. All very helpful when providing structure. I never needed to contact Prof, but in her lecture videos, she exudes genuine excitement about teaching Asian Art history.

Brenna Chapman is very clearly passionate about art history and as such, the course was super fun and engaging. She was incredibly accessible (especially for an online environment) and gave lots of feedback/was easy to chat with. My only criticism is that sometimes there were topics on the study guide that I did not remember studying that week.

Get's you fascinated about the subject, very supportive and understanding. So thankful I was able to participate in the course.

The lectures and readings are so clearly organized and formatted in the most entertaining way. I feel as though I undoubtedly was taught the material. The modules had a mix of power point lectures as well as readings and images to study which I found to be a stimulating way to forward information.

I love this class so much! All of the assignments are due every Sunday so you have lots of time. She is very organized and her lectures are outstanding!

She was one of my favorite professors of all time at Sierra. I enjoyed every single lecture and knew exactly what my assignments entailed. Every week the assignments were the same, save for the midterm and final. This made it very easy to spend adequate time doing assignments. Would take her classes again and again if I could.

Professor Chapman was awesome. Her course was thorough but not too difficult to get through, and most importantly for me she was extremely caring and understanding when my living situation abruptly changed halfway through the semester and let me catch up 5 weeks worth of work for full credit.

Professor Chapman is wonderful. Her course is engaging, and the weekly expectations are fair and simple enough. She responds quickly and provides thorough information for students to utilize in their studies. She is very sweet and dialed-in with her students

She's such a kind professor who really cares about her students and I always had so much fun with our discussions in class. She makes the lectures interesting, especially because she's so passionate about the topics. You can turn stuff in late for full credit as long as its before the exam, which there's only like three so you have a lot of time.

Professor Chapman is a wonderful person! She is incredibly passionate about what she teaches. You will get a lot more knowledge and value out of her classes than you'd expect. I'm planning to take as many of her classes as possible. There is a reasonable amount of work involved, but you can do it all in class without a problem.

Women in Art History was my second class with Professor Chapman. She is one of the greatest instructors I've ever had. Her classes aren't about memorizing details, they're about becoming a kinder and more open-minded person. My advice is to remember key-terms she likes and use them on essays. I loved being her student.

I took Art Appreciation with Professor Brenna Chapman and before I start I will say that it was an 8-week hybrid course and it was definitely very difficult. Brenna Chapman always gave clear instructions and was very available for when I needed help. If you take this course with this Professor get ready to write (by hand) a lot.
