not very easy, but learned a whole lot!

I would probably recommend her . I think she is better if you already are someon good at drawing

This is another prof. who makes my top five list. She pushes hard but the end result is worth it. If you cant handle constructive crit. dont take her. If your serious about art sign up before the class is full.

Man, i love this class....the assignments are so open-ended. The work is so fun, and rewarding. She is very laid back and interested in what you are doing. Less time lecturing would be good though

I had her a few semesters ago - Spring 2003 - but she was one of the best drawing professors I ever had. She is like the martha stewart of drawing. Great projects and fun class.

Well i gave her good ratings, and I got an A in her class, but being fairly good at drawing made this a ridiculousely boring class. Don't take her if you have talent. Plus once she opens her mouth, she would talk for half the class about stupid crap I already knew, but the explanations were good.

This is in response to the previous comment made by someone on march 9, 2005. Not to sound as arrogant as the owner of the said entry, but I am also talented and i DID NOT by any means find this class boring. She gives excellent assignments that can be taken as far as you like. These are fun assignments if you know what to do with them. Her explana

for being a little intimidated by drawing, i found joy's class to be very helpful and inspiring, with fun assignments. and after a negative experience with another professor with pastels, our pastel final for joy's class was refreshing.

Joy was amazing and always had fantastic shoes. I loved her class and probabaly grew the most as an artist.

Loved her! Did some of my best work in her class. She could tell when you were bullsh*tting her though when it came to explaining your work ;)

She was a good instructor, but very dry. I never felt there was any challenge in her classes.

A good teacher, and helpful. Projects can be challenging or not- depending on personal level. A lot of time has to be put into them. Overall I recommend her.

At first the course seemed intimidating, yet Joy was an amazing teacher. She is very helpful and understanding. I wouldn't recommend too many absenses though because of deadlines. You are allowed to submit one project late. The projects are great and you learn alot exploring different media. Yet they are very time consuming especially the final!!!

if you follow her instructions, listen and participate, do your work on time you will do great. i noticed the people who **** most are the ones who don't turn things in on time, complain about the stupidest ****, and seem to refuse to follow instructions for an assignment. there is a lot of creative room to do whatever you want.

Highly recommended. This class need drawing skill and lots of creativity. I saw people who have bad grade, their drawing was terrible. If you cannot draw well or don't have creativity, I don't recommend her Drawing III class.

What I learned from Joy has basically made my career so far just out of college, so iv got nothing but good things to say. she has some great tools and ideas to teach. For some reason some students don't get along with her, but that happens with almost every teacher at scad. first few projects in drawing 3 are a bit boring, but by the end its a bla

one of the best teachers i had while at scad. she taught me about art and i took her for drawing 3 and drawing on a theme and im a photo major but I loved her classes that much!! she is a great artist as well as a great teacher, take her as much as you can!

Awesome teacher. Her projects push your creativity and process. I learned and explored lots of new ways to create art- abstractly, too! Her projects assignments are cool, can be bit annoying b/c you need midway checks and step by step sometimes, but if you do what she says youll learn a lot

In regards to class content, abstract art really isn't my thing. But I understand that as artists, we must understand all types of art. Flynn herself was a great professor; she is available when you need her and great with feedback. She also gives a pretty decent amount of time to finish projects.

A difficult (as in challenging) class, but the way Joy schedules her projects forced me to learn better time management. Her projects have a ton of wiggle room, and are really quite interesting but also a little tedious

Joy Flynn's Drawing t3 is the most useful class I have taken at SCAD. I learned so much about composition and just design in general. Her projects can be tedious, and you will be working on something for her every weekend, but if you are open to her teaching style, there is a lot to be learned in this class. Highly recommend!

most of the people that gave professor flyn sad face rattings were most likely those students who dont become involved with learning and simply dont value and art education in general because i find it hard to see how anyone who is open to learning about drawing can hate her class. twas excellent. my love for drawing doubled after taking her class

I absolutely loved her class except for the abstract assignment. She is very easy to get along with, very helpful and is a fair grader.

She can be very harsh and very strict on deadlines. She is very particular about craftsmanship, especially the coversheet. She definitely has a few favorites and can be quite catty. Sometimes for smaller projects, she isn't clear about how they are marked, by quality or quantity, and that can be annoying.

Awesome Professor. Just listen to her and follow her instructions. If she thinks you've improved from Draw 100 to Draw 101, you'll get an A :)

Drawings are very time consuming but she gives a lot of time in class. She will offer help but you must ask for it. A wonderful Professor to take any drawing class with.

Great professor! If you put time and effort into your work and it shows, you'll do great. She's very helpful and always has cool new techniques to show in her demos. Very kind, classy lady.

nice professor, who communicate well with students.

One of the BEST professors I've had the pleasure of taking. She is very hands on and is willing to help her students out whenever they need it. You WILL work for your grade! She grades on how well you can draw and how far you've attempted/improved. Overall, she was a fantastic teacher!

Incredibly helpful. I would recommend her completely. She is really into the idea of "fine arts." If you are a true artist who loves to explore mark marking and loves using charcoal, Flynn is the teacher for you! Worth taking kind of class thanks to her!

Professor Flynn is great. I'd recommend her to anyone needing to take Drawing II. She cares about her students both in and outside the classroom. She provides in-class tutorials for each project explaining what she is expecting with each assignment. She also gives you a "one-time late" coupon which is nice to have when workloads get stressful!

Professor Flynn is a must take while attending SCAD Savannah. Had her for Drawing 2 & On A Theme her lessons were invaluable. Flynn's technical ability for the arts (not just drawing) helped to broaden my personal media selections. She is a fair grader too, just keep your lesson in mind.

Prof. Flynn was probably the best professors I have ever had. Her class is tough, but you will learn, and improve a lot if you do the work. She is very helpful and a great person.

Flynn is rather strict in what she wants and requires, but it's all for good reason. She breaks down the fundamentals of drawing in order to explain certain things. Although she's not always extremely clear, it's mostly a matter of paying attention and asking questions. I learned so much from this class- I'd gladly take her again!

great teacher, you will learn alot from her if you are willing to put effort and work into this class. she is demanding but reasonable, and will grade you based on your own work not compared to others. i would take her again in a heartbeat but its not a course if you are lazy!!

While her classes may not be the easiest in terms of work load, Joy Flynn is the most supportive teacher I've encountered so far at SCAD. She really cares about her students, and if you are struggling with something she will listen to you and help you to the best of her abilities - this goes beyond classwork! I highly recommend her as a professor.

Joy Flynn is an angel. She has a sense of humor but don't mess around with her. She is a fair grader and she takes the time with everyone. She has good knowledge of pigments and experimental watercolor mediums. Definitely worth taking.

Professor Flynn talks A LOT! In my drawing 1 class we would work the entire class however in Flynn's class she talks for most of the class and then we only have like a half an hour to do anything. Majority of the time she can get the point across in half the time. I learned a little but not as much as my previous drawing class. And she's tough.

I have had Ms. Flynn a couple times so far and she is very helpful and great person to be around. She is a wonderful teacher and although her workloads seem excessive at times, it prepares you as a better student and drawer. You will thank her in the end. I recommend this teacher to anyone.

Was in 101 with Flynn my first quarter at SCAD, will definitely be taking her again if I can. Helpful, friendly, and appreciates students going the extra mile and putting in the effort even though it's a foundations class and you're a higher skill level. Definitely going to try and take her Drawing on a Theme class! A++ professor

Professor Flynn was such a great professor to work with! She was super patient and extremely friendly. She could be a little unclear sometimes, so ask questions, but she really wants you to succeed. Her projects aren't the best, but you definitely learn time management from her class, and she grades on effort and improvement.

best teacher at scad. expect to work, but you'll grow so much as an artist. took her for drawing two and definitely going with her for drawing three!

One of the toughest teachers I have had so far. She really pushes you to do your best and give your all. If you're up for the challenge I highly recommend her. My drawing is 10x better because of her. If you're looking for an easy class don't take her. Also super nice and personable!

You're going to get better. If that's not why you're here, then this class isn't for you, but if you are Flynn will help you get better. Just be prepared to work for it.

She's an awesome person with a great sense of humor. Be prepared to work! Her assignment instructions get lengthy and difficult to remember. I found myself re-reading them a lot to make sure I didn't miss anything. But if that doesn't bother you then you'll definitely enjoy the class. The projects are interesting and I learned a lot.

Overall, I liked the teacher. She was nice and gave okay feedback. There is a lot of homework involved in the class but, if you do it, it will help your grade a lot. I feel like I improved a lot from the start of class to now.

I liked Prof. Flynn. Her class was challenging, but I really liked the freedom she gave us on some of our projects. Do your homework. She assigns textbook note-taking, that is not hard at all, and is helpful for the upcoming project. Do your assignments and follow instructions and you won't have any problems in class.

Flynn is a very sweet woman. Understanding and fair. The main problem I had with her was that she was very unclear and confusing with assignments. Often times I'd leave class so confused as to what the homework or even what the project was about. I learned a lot in her class, that's for sure. If you follow the directions to a T you should be fine.

I love Professor Flynn as a person. As much as her class stressed me out, I couldn't hate her because she's a kind and understanding person. Although, the class STRESSED ME OUT. The most work I've ever had in a class. Big projects & small assignments assigned every week. Projects you have to get done on your own time. Learned a lot, but struggled.

I transferred to SCAD last quarter and I was nervous about taking a drawing class when my major wasn't drawing specific. But, Prof Flynn was so encouraging and dedicated to helping to me and all the other students in my class that it made me excited to go to my drawing class. I would take her again if I had the opportunity.

Prof. Flynn is a lovely person and a good professor but she assigns a TON of work. If you aren't willing to put in a lot time and effort, I would definitely not recommend this class.

Way too much homework, enough to be worth a full semester of credits, no joke. Way way way too much course load. Do not take drawing 2 with her

Tons of homework, but a lovely person! Really long and thorough critiques, she really helps you throughout the whole process. However be prepared to rush to finish all the assignments because of time restraints. Overall, a great learning experience and very supportive environment.

Great teacher, I feel I learned a lot from her. She is very nice as well! There is a lot of homework for this class. You will always have at least 3+ hours of homework (not including projects) every weekend. Some of the homework isn't so great but some of it really helps develop your drawing skills and learn a lot about your own style!

Flynn is the best!!! Her Drawing 3 class was one of the most enjoyable classes Ive taken at SCAD. Her grading criteria is clear and she gives good feedback. If you put effort into your projects youll get a good grade, simple as that. 10/10 would take her class again.

she's a dream of a professor one of my favorites so far!

The art professor I'm most fondest of. Took her classes in 1996 and 1997. Lessons were well structure. She made herself available for extra class time even some Saturdays. Please note the classes I took were for those who already mastered the basics. Her lessons were gear toward learning materials techniques and expanding creativity.

Joy was a fun and pleasant professor. The course is difficult, but she was always available to assist with any issues. I feel she graded us fairly based on our abilities and effort. Be sure to incorporate her critiques to show an effort and you should do well.

This class was a good bit of work but I wouldn't say it was hard. Just time-consuming. Although she didn't really teach the class much she responded to emails quickly and had office hours if you needed help.

Lots of work that takes lots of time but its organized fairly well. Had some videos to help us but other than that we were on our own besides emailing her any questions which she responds to pretty fast. Make sure you look at everything she provides though as she will sneak helpful tips and extra credit.

I learn a lot in this class and I understand why she picks on little things in project because she wants you to learn! MAKE SURE you watch all her video in the announcements and follow her requirements in projects, once you do you will be fine! Don't rush your projects, she knows if you didn't tried hard. Just make your best effort and u be fine!

You will learn and succeed in her classes. She makes sure to set you up for success and then its up to you. Professor Flynn provides so many extra opportunities to dive deeper into the information and learn even more. Sometimes she will even extend due dates and offer extra credit. Easy grader. It was a pleasure taking her class.

Joy is one of my favorite teachers at SCAD she wants you to succeed and actually understand what you are doing She understands not everyone will have the same level of skills and will normally grade your WIP for being done (100%) The Final project will get a grade based on meeting the requirements Read the lessons don't worry about a book PICK HER!
