Comment:

This guy is so incredibly talented and funny. He lets the student be as creative as possible and allows us to even work from home rather then going to every 3 hour class. I had the best experience in this class and even got a ton of much needed free time. Sad to see him retiring, but glad to be impacted by him in such a positive way.

He's very passionate about art and other things and definitely knows what he's doing and talking about. Sometimes he gets off topic and uses his version of humor to criticize your work.

Comment:

He's very lax about attendance, all he cares about is if you get your projects done or not, but you're allowed to stay as long as you want after class to make up missed work if you feel the need to. He's more than willing to spend one on one time with any student to help them get to where they need to be in their artistic career. Great personality.

This is just an intro to drawing course but you will learn so much from him and be amazed at what you are able to do artistically. He has a really layed back teaching style but its important to go to class so you don't fall behind. He is a great teacher, you will have a blast!

Very easy class. The video is on reserve in the library so even if you miss a class you can catch up. Don't need the book but it helps if you like to see the art close up.

Mike is awesome. Totally worth taking, he explains everything in a new way and made me look at art in a different perspective. He gets on a down to earth basis with the students. He takes attendance but doesnt mind if you arent there.

Just go to class & produce all the drawings he requests & you'll more than likely get an A. You don't even have to know how to draw! Have to buy a few supplies that total around $50??? He plays classic rock during class but you can still wear an iPod if you choose. Super cool person! Definitely would take again if needed another gen. ed.

He is the COOLEST teacher. He knows so much information because he is an artist himself, AND likes to have fun. He really wants you to try your hardest and is easy on grading. HE just loves art and wants you to be good too. SO NICE!
