Comment:

I love this teacher. He's soft spoken but very knowledgeable. He definitely guides you in the direction you want to go if you just talk to him about what you're trying to do. He's sweet and kind. Don't wait to the last minute to do art projects because he can tell when they are half done and he seems disappointed but wont tell you in a mean way.

He can get a little irritated if the class talks too much while painting. Hes kind, lets you listen to music during class. Seems to be shy, doesnt speek up. Sometimes unclear during class as to what exactly he wants done.

Comment:

It seemed fun. It sucked that you learned a new concept every class. Expects you to take drawings home and finish them. Very tough grader. Kind of unfair when it comes to his critiques at the end of the semester. Kind of expects a lot out of your drawing even though it is a beginners class

Mr. Babb is so great. He loves what he does and the drawings are fun. Try your best and you will do good. I didn't know how to draw at all but I learned a lot in this class. Finish all your drawings for your portfolio that is due at the end of the term.

Babb has a fun personality and makes things interesting. He does expect kinda a lot in your drawings especially because all of the drawings are due at the end of the semester. I did learn a lot and I've been drawing for a long time, so if you are new you may struggle a little bit but he is always there to help you! You do a drawing every class.

Mr. Babb is awesome; he is friendly and kind. He is shy and a bit passive but he still remains helpful. He gave kind advice and helpful technique lessons and then let the students do what they were gonna do with that knowledge. Fun class. If you pay attention, you'll realize Mr. Babb has a cool sense of humor too!

Mr. Babb is a good teacher, but I think he expects everyone to magically be wonderful at art by the end of the semester. He likes his students that try hard, but if you dont know if the drawing is good enough, ask him.

To passive to be teaching, and has a huge ego. Not very helpful cause he never says more than a few words. He also doesn't show much enthusiasm to the students, and there work.

I can tell he teaches this class way too much. Super robotic and unhelpful. Is NOT clear with assignments and expects too much out of BEGINNER drawings. Don't take him....

Comment:

Took his Drawing class and I'm taking his Advanced Drawing next semester. Really sweet man. Quiet and understanding. I have had to miss a lot but you don't turn anything in until the final portfolio. He walks around and will give you suggestions, but is never rude about it. Really good teacher. Take his class!

Comment:

real easy, not too hard if your starting to draw. hes a cool teacher and very quiet. all he does through out the whole semester is teach the very basics of drawing and one full drawing, i think if your a really good artist and know the basics already, maybe get a harder teacher(just projects not basics)...

Comment:

Very talented teacher who is willing to help you learn and doesn't make you feel stupid for asking questions. Kind of reserved but friendly. Be prepared to work hard and do lots of projects, at least one per class and even homework to keep up! Show up, work hard and he will be kind during grading!
