I disagree with the above two comments. I came into the class without any previous drawing instruction and with hard work still managed to get an A. The key to his class is hard work. He is always brutally honest, which might offend some but he really just always expects 150% effort each class. Was my fav. teacher last trimester.

I liked him a lot. He does tend to have his favorites though. If you get on his good side, you can do no wrong. But if you don't there's always something wrong with what you do. He's just an overall good art teacher. Organized, critical and thorough.

I really like professor Schroth. He takes time with each person to tell them what they need to improve on. He does expect a lot of effort and work in his class so don't take it for an easy A. I really learned a lot about drawing technique and there are no books. It's all learning from experience, which I enjoyed.

i absolutely love professor schroth. his class is extremely hard if you dont put a lot of time into it. if you try your best you'll do fine. he really appreciates honest work and seriously dislikes laziness, incomplete work and apathy. definitely my absolute favorite professor at scad.

Really interested in each student's individual talents, as well as a wide exploration of subjects and techniques with which to approach future work.

Peter Schroth is a professor I'd recommend to anyone taking color theory. He's very passionate and will give a lot of time to work in class, and his projects aren't overwhelming, giving you a lot of time for each of them. However, with such time comes the fact that he does not expect mediocre works and wants to see growth in your projects.

Overall, I had a great time in Professor Schroth's Design 100 class. I'm not the best artist and I missed the maximum 4 classes but I still managed to get an A in his class. If you work hard and act like you care he will help you!

Schroth is a wonderful, quirky man with an eye for craftsmanship (get it right the 1st- 2nd week!) You will learn so much from him about how to see color. Quizzes are simple and bump your grade up. If you care about painting or color at all, he'll love you. Prefers color illusions. Not as quiet as other people say. Treats you as an equal.

This man is amazing. At first, he might seem a bit daunting, and crazy. He actually is but you learn to love it. If he likes you, you'll really enjoy yourself. I'm a film major who can't even hold a paintbrush, and I really hate design classes, but this guy makes it worth it. Everyone else on here is just bitter.

It's so sad that a lot of people dislike him, because he's actually my favorite professor i've had so far. I took design 100 and design 101 with him. People say he chooses favorites, but I think he just likes people who enjoy talking to him and are really into their assignments. I learned a lot from him and wish I could take another class of his!

Though many people say otherwise, color theory with him was my favorite class. He does give time consuming projects but we have at least half or all of class time to work on them EVERY day. If you actually do work inside the classroom and listen to his feedback you'll do well. You'll also learn how to paint perfectly (NO STREAKS). Quizzes are easy.

I cant tell you enough how much I love this man. He has an interesting sense of humor so dont take it too seriously. His rough deadlines are actual deadlines if you want to keep up in the class. Put effort into your work and he will reward you with good grades. Be precise and clean which is what is expected of you in the real world! gr8 guy :)

After I read Schroth's reviews I was terrified and did everything I could to switch out of the class, but I'm so glad there were no available color theory classes because I loved his class so much. If you put time and effort you will probably get an A. He is hilarious and says the funniest and strangest things. I wish I could take him again!

Professor Schroth is one of the most enjoyable teachers I have ever had. He is kind, funny and good at what he does: that aside, DO NOT take this man's color theory class unless you are ready to spend hundreds of dollars on paint and work on projects for upwards of twenty hours a week. He is such a good teacher, but the workload is ridiculous.

Professor Schroth is a good teacher who is well-learned in the subject, and wants to help you learn. BIG WARNING: He makes you spend upwards of 300 dollars on paint, and is extremely picky about cleanliness and craftsmanship, which is unrelated to the class itself. If you can't paint well, I highly suggest NOT taking this class.

I loved Peter so much! I had him for Color Theory and he's very passionate about his work. He does kind of play favorites but get on his good side and it won't be a problem. The quizzes are easy but it is a lot of homework, get ready to spend a lot of money on paints too, cuz he want's you to use the expensive stuff. I learned a lot, would recomend

i highly recommend taking prof schroth's color theory class if you work well independently. he gives students the chance to do projects in class independently, and he makes his way around the room to check in regularly. if you understand sarcastic and dry humor, you would find him hilarious. hes a pretty tough grader, but fair.

The reviews on here made him sound like a terrible professor. Hes an adorable man who is passionate about what he teaches. Yes, there were some long nights of working on his homework/projects but that the norm for SCAD classes. Do the work and be professional and you'll have no problem at all.

There is always something to work on outside of class but there is never so much work that it is overwhelming. He is a really good teacher and I learned a lot, but be warned if you're on his good side the class will be a breeze but if you get on his bad side he will not be the most helpful. So make sure to turn things in on time.

I took Schroth for Color Theory & was intimidated by the reviews on here. I did not find his class to be difficult, but the projects do take a lot of time out of your schedule. Schroth is very opinionated, but he has a good sense of humor. I thoroughly enjoyed the class; it is one that is whatever you make of it, so try to enjoy all the painting.

He may seem intimidating the first time you meet him but once you get to know him, hes actually a funny guy. If you can manage your time, you can definitely survive his class. Stay on his good side and youll enjoy this class. Personally, I like his class because the homework is a good mixture of traditional painting and digital.

So Peter is an interesting professor- he's very soft spoken so bring your hearing aid, but you always want to pay attention to his demos and instructions. DON'T be afraid to ask him for help or direction if you're confused, because critiques can be painful if you got off track. he's a nice guy and not mean if you make it clear you've done your best

Schroth is a good teacher. He provided daily guides & answered questions. He has a good sense of humor. However, consistently ignore the guidelines/advice he will not like you. He apparently cut down the course for zoom classes. I'd take him again except I don't think I could manage the normal workload (he's fine if you have an easier schedule).

He may seem scary, but he's actually very funny (just a bit awkward). His sense of humor relies on him seeming scary but actually being a nice guy. Get the textbook (for quizzes). Make sure to go over and secure the edges of your masking tape. If you do this things will be easier for you. Use more paint than you think! There's a Photoshop unit.

I was so scared when I saw the reviews on here, but he truly was one of the nicest professors Ive ever had. The projects do take lots of time but they are so fun! He could get a bit better ex0plaining things, but his project overviews on blackboard are so thorough. He is one of the sweetest people Ive encountered and Im going to miss the class !

I had such a fun time in his class. His vibe comes off as tough, but he is so sweet. You mostly just work during his class, but to make it not so boring he puts on music and will help you with any questions you have. He has an awesome taste in music and will put on a different genre every class. He loves music recommendations. Hes really passionate

I absolutely adore Prof Schroth! He's super sweet but also a no bs kind of guy. He definitely asks a lot of his students but if you put in the time and effort into his class you will get a lot out of it. I definitely wish I was able to take his class in person because color theory over zoom just aint it but he made it work.

I loved Schroth! He was very soft spoken and came off as tough at first, but he was super nice. He knows what he is talking about and gave good feedback. He would even play some music while we were working and is always happy to answer any question.

I really enjoyed taking Professor Schroths class. If you show him that you are trying he is wonderful, he doesnt like the student that dont put effort in. His projects are so fun, lots of painting involved. He gives great advice and demos and the way his blackboard is set up is amazing! You always know exactly what to do. Hes also hilarious!

A lot of people don’t like him but I had him for color theory and I enjoyed him! He has a wet dry sarcastic humor which can get under domes skin but he is a great prof who knows what he wants. He’s very passionate about color.

Schroth is rated far too harshly; I had his color theory class and I truly enjoyed it. He wasn't rude like everyone says and was clear about project instructions. He also gave us plenty of time on each project and lots of studio time in class. Even though most of the technical color stuff was in the book, I still learned a lot through the projects.

I was placed in the class by default, but it turned out to be my favorite class this quarter. Some of you seem to not be able to handle his jokes. He may be soft-spoken, but his personality is LOUD. If you are respectful and get to know him, he is hilarious and so fun to talk to. Also, incredible music taste--no need to bring headphones to class.

Amazing teacher, I will say he is intimidating but you come to realize it is because of his level of professionalism and overall knowledge of the subject. Best advice do the work and listen.

He has a very monotone voice and can come off as abrasive and rude with how he approaches conversation and feedback. However, he gives honest critique and is just a guy. He has fun music and has awkward conversations with students. Assignments are very straightforward but lack creativity. Work hard and strive for quality and he will respect it.

Schroth is very direct, but not malicious or unkind. He will tell you exactly what needs to be fixed and what doesn't, and I appreciate the clarity. Heavy-ish workload, but I felt like I improved at Color Theory. I get why he only wants us to use highest quality acrylics, but man they can get expensive. One of the most useful classes I took.

Schroth is a perfectionist for sure but appreciates it if you put effort into his class. He teaches the material really well, both physical and digital with interesting projects. Make sure to check the syllabus for due dates because he won't always remind you of them verbally. The projects can be long but the quizzes are online and easy.

Professor Schroth is extremely knowledgeable about Color Theory. He would do numerous demos in his class, walk around helping students, and give feedback throughout the class. He had opportunities to submit for an additional 5 extra credit points added to any project, and was understanding and would provide solutions for students, and is sarcastic.

Took him spring quarter and he was a perfectly fine professor. He was helpful whenever you asked questions or needed help but his projects weren't very fun or creative. I don't think he's evil like people are making him out to be, he's just blunt instead of sugarcoating his critiques. And even then, he's not mean about it, just to the point

Ok so, originally I absolutely hated this teacher but as time went by 2 quarters later I realized how much I actually did learn from this class. The work load was grueling and heavy but I wouldn't have learned as much as I did if it weren't for him. Take his class if you ACTUALLY want to grasp the concept of color theory.

A tough grader. The work Schroth gives is very intensive, but the things he teaches are VERY useful, probably the most useful things you'll learn in color theory, and he teaches them very effectually. While Mr. Schroth may seem a little inflexible or dry, he genuinely does want people to succeed, and if you can handle the work, it's not so bad.

Prof Schroth is a really good teacher. He teaches color theory very well and expects good work. The grading criteria is straightforward and he is not afraid to tell you when you're doing something wrong, which is very helpful to improve your work. It's a great class don't listen to people on here they're being dramatic.

probably the funniest professor I've had at scad and he is really nice. I don't really like the way the tests are based heavily on things from the textbooks like the names of artists rather than focusing on the color and artistically focused things mainly, just because I feel like it would be more useful. But overall, I've learned a lot.

He was fantastic! Probably one of the greatest teachers I have had. Great projects and really teaches you what you need to know.

Schroth is amazing! I love him! He grades tough and you definitely need to pay attention. His demos help a lot! You paint a lot and do some confusing photoshop but he really does help. He's genuinely hilarious and is just such a kind person. I would take his class again and then again and then one more time. Amazing teacher extremely knowledgeable

Clear about expectations and often breaks projects down into smaller steps, which I sorely needed in previous classes. There's a lot of work sometimes but if you stay on pace you'll get it done. He also gives great feedback and often lets you know exactly how you can improve your work.

I had a good time in my class, but I will warn you it is definitely not easy. Lots of late nights doing work. He even said it himself to my class that he is an “advanced” color theory. The biggest warning I have is the cost of supplies is CRAZY. If you want the best experience in his class sit at the front and talk to him. He's a genuinely nice guy
