The best aspects of the course included the wide range of material used in teaching the course, as well as the fun and chal enging atmosphere of the course where students were able to learn about things like the human skul . The professor showed a lot of care and provided lots of great feedback to students. The worst aspects of the course included the expressionless models students used to practice their drawings, and the pricey materials used for some of the drawing. The course would improve if the course itself was offered with more sections available to students al over the school. Prospective students should know that this is a great course for anyone to chal enge themselves and as long as they keep up with the work in and out of class, they will see much improvement in their drawing.
