Lived up to my expectations -- by the end of the course we had a solid amount of new material to add to our portfolio. Helpful when he walks around the room to go over individual techniques with those who seemed to struggle. He talks a lot but is super funny!

Love it, most fun Ive had in a class yet. Blount is blunt! I was told my first concept drawings were "F"ing up. It was hilarious! our whole class learned an important lesson off of me and Blount seared it in for us. I learned a ton and my portfolio shows it.

Professor "Blunt" is the best profes. Ive run across in my time here at UTSA. He's funny, intelligent and will teach you everything he knows in order to succeed in his this major. Ignore those talking about not working on axonometrics; I'm working on mine as I type! Take this man and learn as much as you possibly can. He's once in a lifetime.

Amazing professor, I had him for Architecture Drawing and loved it! Very helpful, you will learn a lot from him. If you really want to learn or if you just want to improve on your drawing skills, take him. He is the only professor for ARC1313 who actually teaches ARCHITECTURE DRAWING!

The man can do it all, teach, learn, draw, design, build... He's a plethora of critical information and is seriously the coolest dude around. He's built over 150 buildings, draws like nobody's business, and will tell you every secret he knows to make you a better designer. He's incredible. Taking him has been the best thing I've done for studio. A+

Seriously the best professor you will find. He's incredibly insightful, helpful, will spend time with you 1-on-1, and always gives not only great, but accurate and productive advice. You will learn to draw and design extremely well. A real-world kind of guy, don't listen to anybody who says otherwise. Take him, work hard, and you'll be awesome. A+

Comment:

The two idiots below are living ****ed lives thinking architecture is what's on HGTV. AIA doesn't license architects, it's a club, not a credential. Blount will teach you more design/drawing than any other professor. He is simply the best, a practicing architect and a wonderful instructor. Take him if you love architecture and aren't an idiot. A

Let me put it to you this way. Do not follow the happy faces associated with this teacher's ratings. Misleading. This is a man who displays favoritism early on in each semester. Your grade outcome is predetermined the first two weeks of class. Does not focus on Axonometrics as needed for Vis.com.Do not take him.Unfair and always taking class breaks

Prof. Blount is probably the best renderer I've ever seen. Please disregard the disgruntled misanthrope who left him a bad rating and said he was a "painter who couldn't make it."

"Blunt" is straight forward and that's key. Excellent artist with lots of experience. Doesn't tool with txtbks, he teaches from his own expertise. Wasn't even an arch major, just curious. Gave me a B! Marlboro man could make some of the best drawings in minutes. Excellent class. Check out his work.

BEST PROFESSOR I'VE EVER HAD. This guy's amazing. You don't have a textbook because you work from handouts that he does for you in class. Takes him like 10 minutes to draw something I'd frame and sell. Knows exactly what he's talking about, and how to teach it. He also actually practices, so he has real-world knowledge. Awesome guy. Take his class!
