Comment:

One of the easiest classes IN THE WORLD. His class is VERY lecture heavy, but if you show up, listen, and engage, you will pass his test very easily. He is very kind and funny, and his assignments and projects are very fun to do. He basically gives u the answers for his test and quizzes and all you have to do is listen. I highly recommend him!!!

Easiest class I've ever taken. His class is super boring but he doesnt care about attendance. He requires a textbook but I never got it. I skipped class so many times and hardly put any effort in his class and I passed with a B+

2 test, 4 assignments, no finals. Easy class. Long lectures. Boring because I don't like art but knows what he's doing. Easy A if you pay attention. I got a B because I sleep everyday and not listen.

Comment:

His class seems pretty easy to pass. He does a lot of lectures. It feels more like Art History class. The only group project we've done so far is a presentation to "sell" and artwork. A solo project we've done is to write a paper about an artwork from the MFAH and sketch the art. Other than that, just a lot of note-taking and listening.

I passed with a C but that's because I could have done me but he really is a good professor enjoys what he does and he field trips are nice to, lets you see the art in its rare form that a book won't show.

Mr. Cervenka is fantastic. He's nice, helpful and funny. The slides he lectures over are interesting and are nice paintings. He has four easy assignments, 2 tests,and no final and gives you reviews for the tests. You also take one field trip to the art museum which is very fun.TAKE HIM, HE'S EASY!!!

When he starts talking he doesn't stop but it's only because he's very passionate about what he does. I recommend him to anyone who wants to study art.

Great teacher, extremely interested and knowledgeable in what he speaks about. THough I knew more than the average part of the class from learning on my own, I still found him to be very interesting.

What's there to say about Mark... he is a GREEAAT TEACHER. Take him, you will not be dissapointed. I had no experience in painting, and now through his teachings I feel like a pro. He is fair and very helpful, and if you're open to him he is open to you!
