Comment:
For CIS Painting, you must directly engage M.B. and ask questions or indicate what you want to learn in class. Ppl vary in the skills they bring to class and direction they take their work. Enjoyed class, had freedom to work in self directed fashion. Teacher was most useful as academic/career adviser. Wants ppl to improve and succeed in painting.

Comment:
He was the worst teacher I've had in my life. Gives an assignment and leaves to do his own thing for an hour. Promises that he'll give feedback, then NEVER does. Gives low grades without providing any reasoning behind them. Never there when you need help. I think I'm a worse artist for taking his class. NEVER take a class with this guy.

Comment:
Run. Run away. find a teacher that doesn't make you draw the same two ceramic pots every day. Homework easy, but also piles up FAST. Really, I'm serious, the work that is being produced in other Drawing 1 classes is above and beyond Binion's. Take one of them instead.

McArthur is the best! He really wants you to succeed. At first he seems tough, but don't be scared, if you ask for help he will do anything for you. He's my advisor now I loved his class so much.

this is a classic example of cyote style teaching. McArthurs course is what you make of it. The effort You put into learning is what you will end up learning.Five stars for Mc Arthur.

He really didn't teach at all. He just left us to draw a still life. I didn't learn anything from him.

Comment:
Was a really easy class to pass but I don't feel like I improved at all in his class. He would tell us to draw a still life and leave the room for 30 min. at a time. Don't take his class if you actually want to improve.

Comment:
He's a nice guy, but I didn't like his teaching style. We drew the same vases in the same position for the majority of the time. We never did any critiques, but he did always have something positive to say about everyone's work. The final project was fun, because we could do anything we wanted and it didn't have to be a drawing.

He is nice and has good comments to tell you to improve, but grading system is really weird and he is very unclear about final project.

He is very inspiring, and down to earth. Sometimes he can be a little out there and some students may be confused by his liberal teaching style, but I found it refreshing to be encouraged to think outside the box for once.

Comment:
Supportive and kind. Gives gentle advice but respects creative decisions or perspectives. Is not concerned with perfect recreation of objects, wants you to progress at own pace. Highly recommend
