Comment:

I came to his class with no previous knowledge of art and leave with a clear idea of my skills and potential. I thank prof. Stupar for that; he is simply great. Everything has been said: great critic, available, knowledgeable... But ultimately, it's all up to you. You'll only get the best of him by asking doubts and putting effort in his class.

Incredibly knowledgeable, very inspiring and an outstanding professor overall. He gives extremely constructive critiques and even changed my perspective on my work-in-progress(es). I thoroughly enjoyed Daniel's class and only wish he taught the higher level classes where he would actually be engaging and inspiring for students.

Daniel is undoubtedly one of my favorite professors at Brown. I have taken 2 classes with him because to me he is the perfect art teacher. He is incredibly knowledgeable of materials and knows just how to push his students. Everyone in my class felt very proud of their work and that was because of Daniel's brilliant teaching and guidance.

Comment:

Daniel's class was the defining feature of my first semester at Brown. I had always been interested in art, but had not felt as inspired or passionate as I did taking his classes. I am so grateful that I was able to have him as an instructor. If I do go into art after college, I'll have him to thank =)

Comment:

Professor Stupar is by far the best art professor at Brown. He has an incredible knowledge of technical art making skills, gives creative projects, is invested in his students, and gives focused constructive criticism. What makes him stand out from the other VA professors is his high expectations for his students; he sees right through the BS

Comment:

Professor Stupar was by far the best art professor I've had. He gives students alot of freedom, but is also always available to talk in and out of class. He seems to be able to solve any problem and has a really wide range of knowledge about sculptural techniques. Students respect him and he really cares about his students and their art.

Comment:

Daniel is an extremely dedicated professor. He cares deeply about his students work and will go to great lengths to help them (buy them stuff, lend them his own tools, etc) but never to the degree where he would constrain their creativity. His assignments are open-ended and play best to the curious and ambitious. He's also just downright cool.

Daniel Stupar is incredible!! He is so laid back, I loves taking his classes, I learned an incredible amount about sculpture. I learned how to make molds, how to use plaster, how to weld! I am very sad that he will no longer be at my school.

Daniel is one of the most remarkable teachers I've found at Brown. He is engaged in the material and the students. During crit, no matter the student or project, he was always able to find the redeeming qualities of a piece and the areas where the student could push their work. On a personal level, Daniel was one of my most influential teachers.

Comment:

He is an excellent teacher. His knowledge of materials and techniques is vast; there was never a question he couldn't answer or problem he couldn't solve. He is invested in his students & devoted to making the sculpture studio top notch & running smoothly. He was both very supportive & also challenging toward my work. I appreciate Daniel very much.
