Comment:

She is very enthusiastic about what she does. It's confusing to figure out what she wants from you. Digital Imaging is very time consuming. Critiques are so subjective that it's hard to please. You can talk to her about ideas and she loans equiptment.

Comment:

Very hard grader, I felt that she definitely let her own aesthetic preferences effect her grading. I think she is a bit narrow minded. I have a similar aesthetic and I worked hard so I got an A but I think I was one of the only ones that did.

Comment:

So glad to have had her as an advisor. She can be picky with students, but if she sees that you are trying and putting forth an effort to be your own artist, you'll do fine in her class...

Comment:

She has her favorites, and if you're not one of them she really doesn't care one way or another about you: you'll get a decent grade but no real feedback or help. Very biased: the only way to be her favorite is to do pieces exactly like her own.

Very biased in your work - if she didn't understand it or if it wasn't something that she was interested in, you received a bad grade. Very hard grader.

Comment:

she was nice, but let her own artistic preferences affect her grading. She had a definate prefernce for dark and gloomy stuff, so you felt obligated to operate on those terms. shes also kind of ****y about some stuff
