Comment:

This person is masterful at implying content to what he says and does. I prefer substance. Seems to have a predilection towards the avant garde, and is dismissive of many types of work he feels has been sufficiently represented historically, although his personal work looks like lo-grade 1950's Ab-Ex. Go figure.

Comment:

Allen cannot communicate. He dominates critiques and goes on for hour unending about irrelevant information. He insults his students (he called my work crap). He is unprofessional and should not be teaching. Avoid him at all costs unless painting is your life- otherwise he will not respect you.

Comment:

Alan is awesome. I knew the first time I met him that I wanted him as an advisor. He does digress and this bothers some people, but I find it interesting... he has so much knowledge and so much to add. If you want an inspired and inspiring prof. he's for you.

Comment:

Alan is a master of interesting/informative digressions and oozes passion for the art world. He has a bias towards the extreme avant-garde, so traditional artists may find the class a bit disheartening at first but the inspiration he imparts will drive you to push yourself in directions you wouldn't expect. A very knowledgeable, fun prof.

Comment:

Very good guy, but unfortunately his teaching style caters primarily to students interested in pursuing very postmodern, nontraditional artistic methods; you won't hear the word "technique" thrown around too much in his class, but otherwise he'll be very supportive.

Comment:

Allen has opened up my mind to the possibilities and talents i can explore within myself. He allows you to give yourself permission to explore your own creative spirit and grow with it. A HUGE influence on how I make art. I am blessed to have known him, and have nothing but gratitude for what he has taught me.
