A teacher who makes you think, and shows you the process to make art, most useful to you after you leave college. An inspirational teacher now retired.

LOVED THIS CLASS! Great Prof, Great Assignments, Great time. Yes some of his explanations were slow and got tiring when he would reexplain things he's explained before, but other than that the class was great. Very helpful, more than another other professors i've had. Thanks so much David!

Foundation Studies - 3D A really interesting teacher if you are serious about thinking about the process of making art. The assignments are great, they make you think. Just challenge yourself and go big or go home.

Nice guy, but he will ramble of forever about things you don't really need to know or care about.

This class was brutal. In the span of 2 months, I made 3 sketches and a replica (with cardboard and white glue) of a sink plug. Might have been nice to LEARN something....

I think he was awful. He was terrible at giving instructions, assistance, and anything else a good professor should give a student.
