this class is extremely easy, however it is mandatory to read the text book because most of his lectures dont relate to the test at all. Simple to pass class, boring lectures, Easy A

Very nice and easy teacher. You can get an easy A in his class. Alot of observations were required in the class but they were interesting.

Comment:

Professor Looney may seem a bit intimidating at first but he is really nice. He is an artist himself, and he likes to share his thoughts about art. Tests are simple as long as you write down his notes. Easy A. and he is also very good looking for an older man.

I dreaded going to class because of how boring he is. He keeps talking and never shuts up. Most of class is spent with the students asking questions about art, so be prepared!

Comment:

SUPER EASY. Tests are easy. Tons of videos that are really boring and long. But this is an easy A so it's worth it to take the class if you have a high tolerance for those certain students that like to ask LOTSSSSS of questions.. or complain that they got an "A" and not an "A+". Looney is kind of odd at times, but he's nice.

Mr. Looney class is a joke. Don't even buy the book just study your notes. His class is an easy A, there is only 4 tests which are very easy just memorize short notes. 2 gallery reports and one paper. Very laid back class.

Comment:

He has a passion for art. Interesting and fun teacher but pretty strict. Don't mess around or be late to his class. Didn't cut me any slack. I came up one question on the final short of an 90% in the class, and I assumed he would bump me up to an A. I was really dissapointed when I saw I received a B.

Comment:

Notes and Brute memorization are crucial in his class! The book is just extra expense/a luxury. The class can get boring especially if you have annoying classmates who ask too many questions. Prof. Looney can be mean sometimes but overall he is still a decent guy. He gives out A's so long as you do the work.

Comment:

i got A's on all my work. I got a C in the class for having 5+ absences. The class was boring and pointless- when we'd finish early he'd say "well I can stand here and **** for the rest of the period- you're not dismissed"

Comment:

Very easy class! He tells you what notes to write down and that is the only stuff on the tests. The class is VERY boring! Do not buy the book. The ethnic paper is easy but the gallery reports are boring and I don't think he reads them!! Take him for an easy A!!

Loved the class! He is such a character! He once made a giant Chia pet out of his signature! How can you not like a teacher who would make a giant Chia pet out of his signature in the name of art???

Comment:

I'm tellin' you now, don't buy the book. Tests are only on the few notes he gives. Easy class. His jokes can get tiresome, and so can the art slides but if you withstand that and study a little, and ask lots of questions(b/c they give extra credit points)you will probably get an A. No homework.

The class was soooo easy! The tests were really easy as well. He is a nice guy but I had a hard time listening to him, he's a little boring at times. Make sure you ask a lot of questions and are always there and on time!!
