Comment:

Extreme wise, conceptual, artistic, and contemporary, not in a utilitarian sense. Proud and lucky to be in his studio. Got to something unique that won't be done anywhere else, and inspired by his knowledge and character forever. Self-discipline is required to succeed, but don't worry because you won't ever get him as your studio prof. HA!

He is so down to earth and has a deep understanding and knowledge in art history and architecture. He is very open minded and supportive. He loves teaching and after years of teaching is still so passionate about learning new subjects and sharing knowledge with others. I learnt life lessons from Ricardo.

great guy, infectious enthusiasm. unfortunately the lectures were horrible, so meandering and lacking in substance that you come away with nothing. take this class for the prof, not the content.

Comment:

This man has a deep voice and a long list of weeping places around the world. I tended to fall asleep in class because it was dark (for the slides) and warm and his voice was soothing, but I still learned a lot!
