You will love Mr. Miller even if you don't like painting. He is really funny and just a nice guy. Fun to talk to and always has great feedback. You can tell he knows his stuff and cares about his students. Wants to get to know his students. You can talk to him like an equal and a person not just a teacher. Would definitely take his class again :)

Trace is a great painting teacher. I learned a lot from his class. He does have a certain style he likes and definitely tries to nudge students that way but he really just wants you to fall in love with the process. He is pretty fun and tells terrible jokes haha. Definitely a good bit of work outside of class. Highly recommend!

Makes you work for a good grade, as expected for an art class, but is encouraging and fair in his feedback and grades. Helps you grown throughout the course.

Professor Trace is a wonderful teacher: He is from Maryland Institute College of Art so he is a respected professor and artist. He's extremely kind and is passionate about painting.

I've now officially graduated from TU. I have to say that this professor was the best I've had during my time at Towson. He has a way of connecting with students and making them do the best they can. I will always remember Trace and think back on his kindness, sincerity and gifts as a teacher.

I just finished evaluating my courses for the semester. This one was my favorite! The professor took the time to get to know everyone in class. He gave us fun assignments and we even had a gallery show at the end!

I felt that he wasn't supportive of expressing yourself. It seemed he strived for photo realistic paintings. If I wanted photo's I would use my camera.

If you have to take painting you must take Trace. He's so supportive and helpful. Even if you never painted before he will guide you along and make it fun. A must take! I love him!

I love trace, he is so cute and nice and really wants you to build new skills. You have to do a presentation about a painter and take a test at the end of the semester. He doesnt grade very easily, but he makes you try
