i think it's his first semester teaching at scad. he gives a lot of homework. sketchbooks due for grade at midterm and final. i think we have like 6 or 7 portfolios due for the quarter. within the portfolio, he also assigns a separate project due at the same time each time. Several pieces are due for the separate project.

I've spent a lot of time with professor Rezatar. Nick is passionate about both teaching and art. He assigns projects every week with multiple projects due for every project. It's a lot of work, and I've spent more than twenty hours per project. He has high expectations, and is not sympathetic for inexperienced people. I've not had a good time.

Just not a very active listener. If you want specific advice about your drawing, just google it. He has basic responses that equate to you figuring it out. Like taking a class from Siri. He would rather talk about himself which is an obstacle in communication. There are better drawing profs at SCAD.

An amazing teacher. He also guides you to apply drawing principles in ways that will help you in your major. Sends specific video feedback outside of class which is super helpful Theres a good amount of work but as long as you stay on top of it you'll be fine. I learned more from him than any other class at SCAD. Highly recommend Professor Resz.

Great professor that can really get you to improve how you draw and approcach certain subjects. He is however a tough grader so you'll really have to spend time outside of class and all inclass time studying and im proving. He does give really good feedback and help you learn how to use tools and where to start etc.

Nick Reszetar is a very fun professor! His extended knowledge of human anatomy made him fantastic for this class. He gives good feedback despite being a more harsh grader. He rewards great time and effort, and he does assign large projects! Overall he is very enthusiastic and fun to be around, and created a very welcoming environment to be in.

One of my least favorite professors. His assignments were overwhelming and unrealistic to complete. I have a job and two other classes so many tears were shed over this class. He didn't communicate well through email, relied on his TA to give most of the feedback, and assigns graded notes (10 pgs long each week). I did not enjoy this class.

Love/Hate relationship with Resz. Workload was intense- my husband & kids missed me being "present" at home, but I'd often catch my 7 year old doing her own version of my assignments for this class. Online classes were engaging. Resz's expectations are very high & I might have cried from stress a few times. Considering doing the drawing minor now.

I know a lot of people hate Prof Rez, but hear me out. Yes he assigns way to much work, you'll prob pull many all nighters, and sob at 2am twice. But he will make you a fantastic drawer. If you have no drawing experience, his class is tough but if you put in the effort, you will come out with incredible skill, long as you try hard and turn in work

He is consistently unprepared for his own class, and fails to communicate grading criteria and assignment details. He often gets distracted and trails off during lectures, which is not beneficial for the class and his students. Every single student I've spoken to about him has been upset and unsatisfied with his quality of teaching.

This is not an easy class by any means, but the feedback I received from Prof. Rez was invaluable. He always gave quality feedback while highlighting your strengths. He was always in a good mood and was super fun in class. If you put in the work, he will appreciate you a lot. Some of my best pieces of artwork came out of taking his class. recommend

He never participated in class critiques and had a very disorganized Blackboard and lectures. His class is also more workload-heavy than other DRAW101's; he expects 10 pages of notes every 1-2 weeks from the textbook and has an additional quarter-long project that other DRAW101's don't do. Fun guy though, not mean or anything.

He was very unorganized, so prepare to do a lot of work on your own. He's a bit difficult to form a relationship with, and he was forgetting people's names through week 10. Though the exercises and sketchbook pages often seemed unnecessary, the projects were rather rewarding. Advocate for yourself, it will drastically improve your experience.

Ive had prof rez for two semesters now, and trust me it wasnt all happy feelings. in draw 200, he could never remember anyones name, seemed extremely amused by everyones stress due to the amount of assignments given, etc. But as the quarter went on, i grew to really like the class. I made such amazing pieces for my portfolio, went on to take 101

Prof Rez was very enthusiastic and clearly passionate about life drawing! He is always accessible for help and improvement. This class requires a lot of dedication and his expectations are pretty high, but I'd say it's so worth it. Beware of a lot of reading and notes, and don't get behind on the 100 gesture drawings (i crammed mine lol).

I read the comments on this website before the course, however, I don't think they are accurate. He is good at explaining and the workload isn't a lot. Everything we did in class helped me improve my skills. I wish I could had more feedback (things I should improve) in my work (he was really sweet l and always gave good comments on critique).

I learned a lot and became a stronger artist through this class, although I did not agree with many of Prof. Reszatar's teaching methods. He seemed to pick favorites within the first week and stick to them for the majority of the quarter, lending less space for improvement and in-depth discussion to other students. Know your worth and do your best!

Really fun and sweet guy. Very engaging. Used a lot of mediums I would not have fully utilized outside of the class, came out with a better understanding on how to use said materials. Expanded my skillset very quickly. Projects can be intensive and needs lots of time devoted to it, but provides good structure and will help you improve quickly.

Honestly such a sweet and funny guy, loved him as a person but the course-load was insane. Projects were very engaging but were expected to be done in a week or less so only take this class if you are prepared to work on these projects for 2-3 hours outside of class every single day. Procrastination is not an option. Harsh grader as well.

This class was SOOO exausting. I had to withdraw from it because of the stress. Didnt work with me at all and the amount of work is just crazy. each "project portfolio" includes the project, 3-5 "exercises" which are just smaller more complex projects and then many many pages of 50% drawing 50% written notes. very tough with not much help.

He is a fine teacher, but in order to have a good experience you have to walk on eggshells and literally devote all your time to the sketchbooks, major projects, in class projects, reading, all of it. He is also disorganized and doesn't care about what is going on in your other classes or life.

Rez is tough, but caring about students. Projects are tough, but exercises help prepare you, even with no experience in the materials. If you email him for feedback, he'll send videos with explanations. He's very attentive and ready to help when you show you care. Would definitely recc, do know it'll be a few tough projects but you'll learn a lot

If you are going into a drawing heavy major I can't stress enough to take class from this professor. Prof. Rez has a big personality, and so much passion for art. He is so honest and blunt and will tell you how it is, so don't expect this class to be easy. I filled a full 1.3 sketchbooks just from assignments for this class and I grew so so much !!

If you're willing to work hard on projects you probably will hate, then this class is for you. Typically lacks when trying to explain how to use a medium but then expects you to do it perfectly. Trying your best will easily get you a B, but you might not feel great while doing it. Generally OK class, but tough at times.

He's a fun, chill guy and a good teacher but god was he frustrating at times. He takes an eternity to grade things, his syllabus/blackboard page is a mess, and he changes small details about assignments frequently. He also gives barely any class time to work on projects, lectures forever and then expects you to come into the studio a bunch.
