Comment:
I took him for an independent study (I'm an illustrator) and he is so vague about everything. He cares about you and your art, but his people skills are also very lacking. He is very smart and knows his stuff, but he just can't convey them to a student. He gets very angry very fast too, when he does it can be scary and hard to take him seriously

Comment:
He is fantastic as an eccentric, and very quotable. He is not just an illustrator but also a fabulous, effervescent painter; his students are truly fortunate to have him. All you need to mark well in his class is work ethic: he pushes students to mature as artists, and if you're not a serious painter, you should stay away. Also, he can cook.

Comment:
Refused to help me. Completely unclear about what he wanted out of me, showed up 45 minutes to an hour late every day, would only stay for approx 30 minutes a class. Couldn't take him seriously, the whole class saw him as a big joke. BTW: he's an illustrator not a painter and will not talk to you about content, only form. Never take this instructor

Comment:
Confession: I only had him for a third of intro to print, BUT, Mr Miller, aside from being so charming, was one of the most helpful professors at VCU. He spent more time with me and my work during non-class hours than my appointed counselor. He is very very knowledgable and will work with you on whatever your interests are. A great asset to VCU.

I found Mr. Miller to be incredibly unclear and not a very good "teacher"...like someone else said, he expects a lot but doesn't realize his explanations aren't clear.

Say what you want about the man. He cares about your success. I learned more from him in a 2 week course than I learned in the 3 yrs before that. I will always respect him and thank him for what I learned.

Miller needs to work on his people skills, but from what I understand he knows his stuff. He just likes to keep it to himself.

James Miller is the BEST art professor at VCU. I only wish that I had taken from him sooner and wasted less time with egotistical pigs like Donato and Tapia.

I ahve to agree with the statement below that James Miller is quite unclear when explaining his desired projects to the students.

This is possibly the worst teacher in the painting dept. He won't explain what he wants, but is mad when you produce anything short of his (unexplained) expectations. Oh yeah.. and he's a total perv.
