Funny?Sure,for the first 3,4 classes,then it just becomes repetitive.By the end of the semester you feel that you are waisting 3hrs sitting in a class room listening the same things over and over again.Be sure to have time to spare running around to accomplish some of the assignments as well,missing those will take your grade from A to C.

A straightforward class. Be punctual & attend all classes. Communication is via email or in class only. A mandatory visit to the museum of fine arts Houston and an art reception of your choice (very enjoyable). These two are a major part of your grade. Check the attitude as the door. It was a fun class and an easy A if you the work. A nice guy!

Great class to take if you are looking to just get the credit. If you don't make an A, you are the problem. He jokes ALOT.. sometimes to much, and he isn't really funny at all.

My first impression was very low. He used profanity at least 10 times on the first day; which is unprofessional to me. He also speaks condescendingly to students at times, so if this bothers you then don't take his class. The workload is pretty easy. But his lack of passion for the subject is disappointing & makes going to class monotonous.

Easy Professor! I took his class during the summer and his class was by far the easiest. Mostly just have to show up for class he takes points off everyday that your absent so you must attend! The final was easy too all it was is a review of questions that the students wrote and that was it. If you need to take an art class take him!

I mean easiest class ever. You can't fail its impossible, but talks too much and makes art seem like a joke.

He's super fun while he teaches and makes the experience of learning the material fun as well. he can get caught up in a story and will talk a lot but that's really the only thing bad about the class. Only way to fail is to not show up and to not work on you weakly homework which is in the book and takes like 10-20 min to do if that.

I had to take this class but he ended up becoming my favorite teacher of all time. His work load is very light, but at the same time you will learn and retain more than you ever thought you would. That's how great his lectures are. I took this class about a year ago and can still remember most verbatim. Interesting, stress free, and stimulating.
