The best aspect of the course was the course structure which seemed to offer something for both drawing enthusiasts and those who had no previous background in drawing. The professor encouraged creativity and was also very helpful to students. The worst aspects of the course included the lengthy class time, as well as the extra time students had to allot for homework and other assignments. The course would improve if the class was divided into two sections each week as opposed to just one lengthy class period. Prospective students should expect a fun course in which they wil see improvement on their drawing if they put forth individual effort.

The best aspects of this course were the interesting material, the thought-provoking and flexible lectures, and an insightful and enthusiastic instructor. The class was led as a discussion, and students guided the direction of the class. While many students found this invigorating, some thought it detracted from the class and made lectures seem haphazard. Suggestions for improving the course included a more systematic structure to the semester and better feedback on projects. Prospective students should come into the course with an open mind and a genuine interest in the subject. This course and instructor are highly recommended.

The best part of this class was the fact that the instructor made even the least artistically inclined student feel competent by the end of the semester. Students appreciated the opportunity to draw using a variety of media, as well as the lessons on the relationship of the brain to drawing. Some students felt that the three and a half hour weekly sessions were exhausting, and that this class would have been better if there was some focus on drawing portraits as well. Suggestions for improvement included making this course three credits with an H designation to help fulfill overall course requirements. Prospective students should know that no prior art knowledge is necessary.
