Comment:

The only reason why this class was not difficult for me was because I am a double major in the art department and have previously taken two art history classes. This class was basically like an advanced art history class. And on top of that Patrick is a very ridiculous man.It seems that he gets a big kick out of being rude confusing and unorganized

Comment:

DO NOT take his class!!! This is the hardest class I had to take and its a freakin art class! He expects you to know everything, without even teaching it, and the book is no help. The only thing I did good on was my critical review paper over a peice of art that he took 10 points off of for no title. I would avoid taking his class.

Horrible class. I'm sure he knows alot about whatever it is that he rambles on about, but he definitely does not know how to teach it. DO NOT TAKE HIS CLASS

Comment:

He was terrible! He tells you before tests that like 80% will be from the textbook and to just read it all because the people who wrote the textbook know art way better...or something like that. Be prepared to read the whole book and teach yourself. He only gives extra credit to people who do really well on the tests. The ones who don't need it!

This was by far the worst teacher I have ever had. Going to class was pointless and studying for the exams was impossible because he asked questions over things he didn't even teach. Do not take his class.

Comment:

If you want to teach YOURSELF about art appreciation/art history, want absolutely nothing to do with the prof, don't want to ask questions, want to attend lectures for really no reason because the test info is all in the book (none from lecture), and want to be belittled infront of the class, then take HIS intro to art class!!

Never made lower than a B in college...worked my butt off in this class and still managed to fail...I only wish I could find words to describe to you how horrible this man is at teaching..Im currently retaking this class with Duganne and I'm glad I did. He sucks every bit of life out of this class. at all possible, avoid him at all costs..

Comment:

His lectures are a bit dry and the assigned seating makes things very cramped, but as far as learning the material - he plainly states what will be on the tests, so memorize it and you will be golden. He's straight-forward, so no surprises. It's a lot of images, so don't wait until the last day - but know titles, artist, year and you'll be set.

He makes fun of you in front of the class.Last class all our notes we went over were not even on the test!ADAYSWORTH of notes, and it wasnt even on the test! Be warned, the tests are slide-oriented and they're hard

It has been a year since i had this man as my prof and im still not over it. He is a horrible teacher with the idea that he is the only class you are taking. If you are fine with outrageous attendance then go for it. I did fine in the class but...stay away from this class if you can..

Comment:

The lectures are boring and don't really go along with the test questions. I got an A because I learned that if you just read the descriptions about the styles of art and follow his instructions PERFECTLY on the critical reviews, you'll do great. You really don't have to have a photographic memory... just remember how he DESCRIBES the art.

STAY AWAKE! If you can manage to stay awake and read a little every night like he says then you will get an "A"! Its does help to have a photographic memory! I actually sleep a lot in this class but studied for my test and FOLLOWED instructions on my critical review! RECOMMENDED FOR STUDENTS WHO DONT MIND STUDYING A "LITTLE BIT"!

Comment:

Where to start,ah yes...He is by far the worse prof i have ever had. Attendance is mandatory and he will subtract your total grade by 150 points if you are absent more than four times. Dont take him, if you have to wait for another prof for another semester, do it! Not only is he obsessed with his attendance policy, his test dont match his notes.

This one goes out to everyone who's ever gotten a "0" on a critical review because it wasn't double-spaced.

Comment:

The inherent problem with this class is that art styles are a load of BS. Any piece could have come from any period, so any effort to classify it by a number of vaguely-defined traits is going to fail miserably. When all else fails, Patrick will tell you something has a trait when it clearly doesn't, and you'll of course get that question wrong.

Comment:

I ussualy make Bs on his tests but I stress myself out too much studying, there are kids in the class who do not study as hard and make 115! Im sure it helps if you have a photographic memory with the images for the test.
