Comment:

This woman is literally the class's color mom. She is very passionate about what she does. But, that being said, her projects demand attention and time... lots and lots of time. She will give you feedback in class but expects you to work a lot on your own outside of class. This class is all painting so if you're not into that I wouldn't take.

Great professor and person! She likes to give opinions and change her mind. Do as she says and you'll do great. The textbook is written by her and is the same as her lectures but read it because there are several pop quizzes. Make sure to show up and keep up with your studies. The process book is probably the most important thing you own.

Comment:

The projects are all abstract designs, which I think personally help focus on the color aspect. All acrylic paint. The abstract projects help level the quality between student work, you dont need to be good at drawing to take this class. This has been my favorite class I've taken at scad so far, my peers were incredible and kind, and Mosch is great

If you REALLY want to learn the ins and outs of color, Mosch is a must. Color theory isn't a hobby for her, it really is her passion. However, this means that she expects a lot out of her students. Her assignments can be pretty tough and she's a harder grader than you'd think. Nevertheless, she's a wonderful person and you learn a lot from her.

Mosch is extremely passionate about her work. She's the first person I've met that genuinely LOVES color. We did have to buy her book, but it functioned as the course outline and was EXTREMELY helpful. I learned a lot just within the first week. She completely changed the way I view the world. She is understanding and supportive. Don't slack off!

Very funny lady. Lots of work needs to be put in, she is the toughest color theory professor at SCAD. If your style is not aligned with her liking then there might be some issues. Do all the sketchbook work! Strict on deadlines.

I LOVE Prof. Mosch. She has a quirky sense of humor and she cares so much about her students. I would definitely take her again. You do have a lot of homework, but I learned so much in Color Theory. She has progress checks every class that you are graded on, so DON'T lose the sheets and DON'T procrastinate.

This woman lives and breathes color theory. She is extremely passionate about what she does. The demonstrations are kind of long, but I think they were all extremely informative. Expect a lot of painting.

Over the course of the class I noticed she would tend to pick favorites. When I would go in for extra help or ask questions in class at first she was pretty helpful and gave good feedback, but near the middle/end of the quarter it seemed like she really didn't care. Her assignments are what you would expect, Overall Mosch is okay.

Mosch was definitely not my favorite teacher but she was okay. She's passionate about what she teaches and expects you to put in the hard work and earn the grades. There are times when she can get on your nerves, especially if you debate over a critique, but overall she wasn't to bad.

Had her for Design 1 and color theory. Her classes are very fast paced, strict on deadlines; she introduces/wants progress on the next project before the current one is due. Assignments are challenging but fun and allow room for creativity. She gives great feedback when asked & is an amazing woman!! Not an easy A but you will learn a lot. She cares

She is a very nice and wonderful teacher that will push you in order to learn. I have learned a lot about the principles and elements of design from her that I can apply to other projects from here on out. You will use the book a lot and there are only 2 tests (midterm and final) that are very short. Would definitely take this class again!

Comment:

Here's the thing about learning: it's an active process, esp w the artistic process. You must engage or you cheat yourself. Color is phenomenal, not formulaic. If you want an easy A, go elsewhere. Mosch will hand you the golden tools but you have to do the work, which takes time. She'll give you a map, but you have to be willing to take the trip.

I've learned more about design, color and life skills in her Color Theory class than ever before. She is one of the hardest professors for Color Theory and deadlines are strict! I had at least 6 hours of homework every other night if I wanted to fully understand what she was teaching me. You have to work very hard for this class, she will push you!

Prof. Mosch is a passionate professor and she cares about her students. She is extremely particular about the colors used in class and only allows the use of the primaries to create your colors for each assignment. Participation in critique and during her demoslectures is important to your success. She is quirky and engaging. Deadlines are strict!

Comment:

Deborah is by far the BEST professor I've had at SCAD. She is passionate about color, art and life in general and so sweet and funny. The students who aren't happy with her are the ones who do not want to be engaged in the class and just want an easy A. We are at a rigorous art school - shouldn't we want to be pushed to be better? Take her.
