Great teacher. Responds quickly to email. Kept things interesting.
Professor Killian was organized. We had everything we needed to ACE the class. Just do the work on time. Their was a variety of styles taught as well as different methods, like videos, lectures ...
Professor Killian is a great teacher overall, she loves for her students to interact with the lecture and is straight forward. Im in a hybrid class meaning we have plenty of online discussions which aren't bad. 10/10 recommend
Enjoyable lectures. Wants the class to participate in her lectures. She is kind. Write in complete sentences on anything you turn in.
Professor Killian is Awesome. She is quick to grade. I love that she takes the time for comments on my assignments. She even said she enjoyed reading my work.
I'm taking her hybrid class. The lectures are really good. We have experimented with different art media.
Absolutely ZERO instruction given other than "Make a comment on the website" and yet somehow, submissions made do "not follow criteria" and are not worthy of points. Art major here; this is the worst art class I've ever taken. WOULD NOT take this professor again.
You have to do the work but it is interesting so that you want to do the work. A combination of short readings, videos, and discussions. Really liked the class and the Professor Killian gave me a lot of feedback. She was encouraging!
Took her hybrid class and loved it. She has so much knowledge packed in to her lectures. Made it very interesting to listen to. She also had hands on projects which was a blast.
Online class. Everything was easy, just do the assignments. You get plenty of time to do the work. I am taking several online classes and this was, by far, the best organized and had the best feedback from the Professor.
Professor Killian gives feedback on a lot of my submissions. She is encouraging, thoughtful, and understanding. I had some issues during the semester and she replied with care and concern. Wish I could find more like her for my other classes.
Informative. Interesting content.
I had a great time in this class. I honestly looked forward to going to class every Saturday and enjoyed the art projects very much. I learned to appreciate art in a different way I hadn't before and I'm glad to have had a great teacher like Mrs. Killian who has a real passion for what she does.
This was an online class but there were enough responses from her that it felt like a real class. Do the work and the A is yours.
Enjoyed the class. Thanks!!
Wish she taught other courses too
I would never take her class because the homework is all online and if you have any kind of problem she will NOT help you. I tried every computer even the ones at school and her links didnt work for me and she said that if I couldnt get it to work I would get a failing grade. DO NOT TAKE HER CLASS!!!
I really enjoy watching different artist and learning about their passion. As long as you do your work there is no reason why you should fail.
This professor helped me figure out online classes as this was my first.
Interesting class. Prof. Killian responded quickly and helped me out.
This professor goes above and beyond to make sure we understand how to and the materials, relevant.
Loved the film. Wasteland.
I noticed Professor Killian really cared about how I did in her class after I forgot to take an online test. She noticed I didn't take it, reached out to me, and made sure I got it done before the deadline. She definitely makes you work for your grade, but the coursework is insightful and really helps you understand art and all that goes into it!
Great prof.
Professor Killian is a very good instructor and makes us really pay attention to art and look at the detail and makes us question artist and their artwork. I really learned a lot about different art and artist that I did not know about before.
This class is a very informative and nice class to take. You learn a lot about art and about the different types of art, the elements of art, the principles of art and so much more.
good class
INteresting like the different types of artist presented.
Really liked her lectures. She's funny.
I enjoyed going to the different websites and exploring.
Good class. I really appreciate what artist go through to create their paintings, sculptures and such.
I learned a lot about art and its meaning.
This class has four units with artists and periods of art. The discussions were lively. Prof Killian was friendly and commented a lot. Nice lady!
I learned something new with every assignment. She was motivational. Continued to comment and encourage us through the semester.
I liked the way the class was set up. Prof Killian was available and responded quickly when I sent her a message. She was encouraging. Cool class.
Professor Killian responded to messages and did her best to make things clear. You can tell she has a sence of humor. THe class was interesting and I really did gain an appreciation for art plus she gives credit for your opinion on what you were looking at. Thats cool.
Professor Killian is a wonderful instructor, every time i had a question she would always help. To me this class was the easiest i learned so much about art, artist, and styles of art. My favorite assignment was the movie Wasteland. It was powerful and moving how they all came together as a community. Great class!
I really liked this course. It was very organized and the assignments were easy to access. The teacher responds to messages, and is very helpful. I would recommend this course for anyone needing Art. I actually enjoyed the movie, videos and art we looked at.
Professor Killian is a wonderful instructor, she was very responsive and helpful. She encouraged us voicing our opinion about the art and artists. Enjoyed the class and have a true appreciation for art.
This was my favorite class. I have not been in school for quite some time, so I did not know what to expect. I took some required courses, that I needed to move into my Junior year at UT, and I did not anticipate this being my favorite class at all. IT was my favorite because of YOU, your encouragement and feedback and attentiveness to the class
Gave feedback.
Didnt realize how much I learned until I went to a couple of museums with my girlfriend. Remembered so much. Impressed here. Lol
Appreciate the help when I was stuck.
Enjoyed the class. Loved all the different periods and artists introduced.
This was a great class. I was a little unsure about it in the beginning because everyone knows that I can't draw even stick figures. I actually learned a lot in this class and saw some really great art. I would recommend this class to anyone. It was a little time-consuming but for the most part very easy. I really enjoyed this class.
I honestly liked this course. I enjoyed looking at the different pieces and I enjoyed learning about the different aspects of art. I now have a deeper understanding of art. Thank you so much, professor!
I enjoyed the PowerPoint and discussion format of this course! It allowed me to research more about the artists and explore a large number of works by them! Now it's a habit when I walk by paintings or statues ill point out what I notice to them and my interpretation of the artist's expression. I never had much trouble with the links.
Loved Professor Killian. The class had a good pace. Assignments were grouped and it made it easier to complete them. There was alot of time between the assignments so I never felt rushed. She always commented on several of my assignments. Ive never had an online professor who left comments. Plus, she even sent reminders a couple of times.
Interesting content.
Really liked the class and professor. Final grades are in and all was fair. Prof. Killian cared about the class and students.
I really enjoyed this course. This course taught me other ways art is defined as well as the meaning of art. Overall, this class was a nice experience to learn about the history of art.
I loved the course it was nothing i didn't like about the course we learned alot and got to experience different art styles through many creative artist i enjoyed the course hands down.
What a ride! Although sometimes I was crunching for time to write, I really enjoyed getting to look at so many different works overall. I think it was really nice and perspective-broadening.
I learned a lot about all styles of art and how artists create. Professor Killian really cares about her students and responds to your work.
I've signed up for another online course and I appreciate Professor Killian even more. She impressed upon us to write in complete sentences. Didn't realize how bad my writing had gotten. She also responded to most of my entries. She really cares about her students and our success.
. I was able to get all my assignments turned in with no problems and I feel the instructor had a good idea with showing PowerPoints and letting the students do discussions over the topic. I would recommend the professor and this class to anyone who wanted to actually learn about the different types of art and other artist.
I was able to get all my assignments with no problems and I feel the instructor chose a good plan for learning art because I never knew much about the subject but I do now. I would recommend the professor and this class to anyone who wanted to actually learn something about art because they would leave this class knowing a lot about the subject.
I enjoyed the modern feel of it, and it wasn't always about renaissance art or "old art" like I thought it was going to be about, the only thing I wished was different, was some of the links didn't work. Overall I am grateful I took this class, and you are an outstanding professor who I can tell has a great passion for Art Appreciation.
I really enjoyed taking this course! The professor made it easy to follow and turn in assignments and the instructions were clear. I never had an issue or a problem about what was expected of me. I also liked how the discussions allowed you to write your true opinion and allowed for a deeper thinking.
I absolutely loved this class. It was super easy and fun. I would recommend this class to anyone who loves to learn about crazy, exciting artists and their artwork. My favorite part was the videos about the different artists and their backgrounds.
This course was very interesting, and I really enjoyed learning more about art. The course was also very informal. It went very in-depth about old art and modern art. It really inspired me to want to create my own art. Thank you for everything and teaching more about art.
I really enjoyed this course, i enjoyed learning about all of the art that i have never learned before. although i only needed it in order to get my degree, but i highly recommend online art, and I even recommend you as a teacher!
I am starting a new semester after a very bad one last semester. I don't even have Professor Killian and she sent me a message to whish me well this semester. How impressive is that? Profs rarely contact students and she reached out a semester later. Makes me ready to take on this semester!!!
Although the was required for my fine arts credit I found myself loving art. There was a lot of variety of art and different kinds of art. A lot of interesting facts. I especially liked that the professor made comments often letting me know I was doing well or had made an interesting comment.
I enjoyed this course, very informative and loved how you kept us interacting with each other. The power points and slides were easy to follow, and the tours were very fun! Thank you for all you did for us.
After taking this class, I feel like I look at the world a little differently. I learned a lot about art and its true meaning. Everyone has their way of expressing their art. No matter what it is, It is unique and well thought out. This course was a learning experience that I am grateful for.
The professor has artist profiles all semester and you read about them or watch videos on them then write about them. It is easy and I like learning about all the different artist and their work. The professor is nice and makes comments on your work.
Great Professor. Told you exactly what to do and you had a week to finish your work. Quick grader.
Great Professor. Assignments were open all semester so you can work ahead when you have the time. Class was interesting. would take this professor again.
Liked the class. The assignments were easy enough. Prof. Killian graded the work quickly.
The assignments are open all week so you can work when you have time. Also, Prof Killian opens them all up so you can finish them early too. I liked that she commented. It was like being in class but working whenever you want. She is also great at explaining exactly what she is looking for when she is grading. Would take more art history from her.
Interesting artist presented. The assignments are easy enough to do and graded quickly.
She had assignments that allowed us to work ahead, discuss with other students, and she engaged with us a lot. She commented on our work, asked questions, and allowed students to discuss what we truly thought about art. As a nonart major I will always remember what I have learned and have the ability to discuss art knowledgeably.
Prof. Killian's online class is interesting, manageable, and relevant. I didn't have to like everything that was presented and it was ok to say so. I now have a newfound appreciation for numerous styles of art and a general knowledge of art history.
I am finished. The course is open all semester and I was able to work ahead and complete the course and now can focus on other classes for finals. I learned so much from art history, artists, & styles of art. Great instructor with alot of feedback.
Discussions where you get credit for your opinion, tests directly from the course information, and the intro gives you tips for success, they work. Prof. K responds to emails quickly, friendly. I finished early as she encourages you to work ahead.
Videos, powerpoints, online links. Write in complete sentences for credit. Prof. responds quickly. Liked the course even tho I didn't think I would. Surprised me how much I liked the course.
Awesome prof. Open class so you can work ahead and finish early. Lots of responses to work submitted. Would def. take again.
I think this course was very straight forward and informative. Feed back was greats from professor. If you didn't pass this class you completely just didn't apply yourself.
It was pretty easy and laid back and it was nice to have my own pace and everything unlocked in case I did want to work ahead which helped with my life schedule.
This course was very interesting to take since it really opened my eyes to various different forms of art / artist. The work was spaced out enough to where you had plenty of time to read and complete the assignments.
It wasn't a difficult class but it gave me a lot of knowledge! It was a fresh of breath air compared to my other classes, but I loved it! I also loved how structured and organized it was and how usually everything was due on the same day!
I really liked that this course challenged me to learn something that I have not really looked at and made me have a more appreciative outlook on artwork. I really liked how the course taught alot about the different types of art.
Prof. Killian grades and responds quickly.
The course helped me understand art history, techniques, and principles, giving me a solid foundation to analyze and create art. Learning about different movements, styles, and key artists expanded my perspective and deepened my appreciation for how art connects the past and present.
The class helped me learn about the history behind different art movements and I also see art from a different perspective now. I enjoyed every bit.
Quick to respond when I had any issues and I appreciate that!
I enjoyed this class. It was easily navigated, and many resources were provided. I have always appreciated art, but this class helped me learn more about it.
I really liked this art course. It taught me a lot about different paintings and cultures.
I really enjoyed this class. It was fairly easy, BUT for that reason, I was more motivated to actually put time and effort into the assignments. I genuinely like how this class was organized.
The class helped me understand art better. I really loved learning about the different styles that came to be and finding some interesting artist!
I really enjoyed this class. I learned about all the different types of art cultures and movements. I am so glad that I picked this course because I really have a passion for art. I am thankful for this class and I really appreciate the information that I learned while being in this class.
Loved this class! Being provided with all the resources I needed was great.
This class kept me motivated because the things we learned were interesting and fun! I really enjoyed this class and its assignments. My favorite assignment was group one, where we saw everyone's perspective of the art piece. Thank you, professor, for a wonderful semester and for making this course fun!
I actually enjoyed the class more than I expected, I enjoyed learning about the different types of art and their origins. The formatting of the class was straightforward and easy to navigate. I liked that many of the discussions were open-ended, this allowed everyone to share different thoughts & opinions. It was a great course, & I enjoyed it!
I overall really enjoyed the class! There were several of the websites in the power points that were no longer working but google helped in the few times I had issues with the attached link. Quick to respond when I had any issues, responding fast is truly so helpful!!
I truly enjoyed this class! I've always had an appreciation for art, but now I have gained more knowledge about various art forms that I did not know about. Great prof.
I truly learned more than I thought I would in this class and how you can help us understand more in depth with art. The meaning behind some pieces opened my eyes in a certain way with the detailing of the artist. I've always loved glass work but I've learned to grow more fond of other ways of artwork.
I would like to mention how amazing my instructor is. She messaged me back for every question/concerned i've had. Even after having the hardest first week of school she managed to get us back rolling. She has been very attentive to my needs. I wish I would've been able to take this class in-person.
I enjoyed this class. Nice and simple. I would definitely recommend this class for anyone wanting to g to explore art. It showed me art I would not normally go looking for.
She was an amazing teacher!
