She describes what needs to be done in detail and demonstrates so you can understand. She's also very passionate about art, which caused me to work harder.

The only test she gives is the final. She also assigns a field trip to the Museum of Fine Arts Houston, and she gives out a final project. Other than that, there are quizzes weekly, but if you have been paying attention they are really easy. She laughs a lot, so if that annoys you, then take her anyway. She's an awesome professor.

Took class during summer: Follow her posted outlines with the powerpoint lectures given and you'll do Great! Instead of tests there are weekly quizzes, 1 paper over art of your choice visited at the MFAH, 1 project, 1 final test, & a few in class activities throughout the semester. She is passionate about art and funny! TAKE HER for an EASY A or B!

I took her for painting and really loved it, she's the most relaxed teacher I've ever known. I sort of forgot that she was the teacher at times to be honest. We call her by her first name, and she converses so easily with us. She gives great feedback and loves to see our progress. She makes such a great atmosphere. I can't recommend her enough!

Took online for 6 week summer course. Lots of reading/watching videos/note taking needed to pass quizzes with 10 questions, 10 minute time limit. Extra credit for going to art museums. Project in the end where you have to actually draw/paint/etc a portrait in the style of another artist. It was hard for me as I'm artistically challenged

I would not recommend this teatcher to anyone and I definetly wouldn't take her class again. Some people may like her especially if they like to read all week long and have a passion for art. If the d2l website is down and you honestly can not turn in as assignment she will not care at all. Quizzes are everyweek and only 10 questions on quiz

I took Kari over the summer for art appreciation and found her class to be very easy as long as you pay attention and do your work. There were two quizzes a week but ONLY because it was a shortened semester, and they were very easy. She is very passionate about art, and I would recommend her to anybody that is, too.

Skip class? You won't pass.

I took Kari's Painting I class and loved it so much that I took it again for non-credit. It is a pretty laid-back class, and as long as you do your work, you will be fine. I had absolutely no experience in painting before taking this class, and Kari was very helpful in teaching me everything. I would take this class again if I could!

She is very fair and will work around any circumstance you are going through if you communicate with her. Best professor I've ever had! Do your work, show up to class, and you will more than pass.

This class was a lot harder than I anticipated. Tons of online reading followed by 10 question quizzes that do not adequately assess true understanding of the material. I don't have any actual complaint about the teacher herself, just the large amount of reading with quizzes that leave little room for error. If you take online, expect to read!!!!

There are two quizzes every Tuesday and Thursday that require you to read 7-12+ readings, videos, and artworks. You still might not pass because the questions are way too specific. If you DON'T FOLLOW her rubric, you will get a zero and it is non negotiable.

I took her online class and it's a heavy workload. 2 quizzes each week along with discussions and one assignment. Her quizzes were tough. 10 questions under 12 minutes. She offers extra credit, retake only 1 quiz and drops the lowest quiz grade. Overall the class wasn't too bad. If you're looking for an easy A... then don't take this class

Kari is an amazing teacher! She is so inspiring and encouraging! I loved her painting 1 and 2 classes. I wish I didn't have to graduate so that I could take her painting classes again! Ms. B is very reasonable when it comes to supplies. She will work with you and find cheaper solutions if you cannot afford certain things. TAKE HER CLASS!!!

Prof. Breitigam offers painting projects that clearly build upon one another and help you test your skills and techniques. I got helpful feedback from her, and I was really happy with all that I learned about other artists and painting in this class. Not only that, but I came out of it with some nice paintings too!
