You show JC the effort and he will respect you back. There is a lot of knowledge in his head and a genuine interest in the students. Once you demonstrate your commitment you'll be freed to take your creations as far as you want to.

His enthusiasm was contagious, and I even appreciated his quirks. I still display those brass and copper mobiles in my living room. Judging from the other ratings, I was very lucky to get on his good side.

Comment:

So confusing because he says he wants you to be creative but then shoots down your ideas. He tells you exactly how he wants it done even though its your art. No real free will in the class. You basically are only learning his style of art.

Comment:

JC is an interesting guy but a TERRIBLE TEACHER. Makes you feel like you have to do what he wants on your own projects, says everything should be simple but then "wishes you had put more effort in" when the finished project isn't elaborate. Spends forever explaining. Gave me B+ though I followed his directions exactly and took all his suggestions.

Whoa. This man is kind of crazy. Expect to put A LOT of work into his class and not really understand what he is saying. Does not believe in grade inflation like the rest of the world.

I love JC. It's obvious that he loves what he does and is always really excited about it. I know sometimes it seems that he wants to implement his ideas on the students, but he really does know what he's talking about. He really wants his students to do well and he's always there fore support and guidance. I find him hilarious... he does too.

Comment:

At the lower levels, Form and Space, JC was confusing and frustrating to have as a teacher. However, I found him to be a great guy and an even better professor when he is teaching a smaller and more advanced class. Although boring at times, he teaches technical aspects to sculpture that cannot be matched. If you do the work, you will be rewarded

Comment:

Played favorites - would spend 15 minutes helping one person and 1 minute helping another, always said he wanted your creation to be "simple" but always favored the elaborate projects, acted as if projects were very open-ended but then acted as if they had to be done his way

Comment:

Has a problem accepting other people's ideas. Loves work to be geared toward engineering appearance and simplistic. Hates color and extravagant projects. Then again, he has big expectations for every project and spends hours elaborating on how he wants it done exactly.

As long as you do exactly what he wants you to do on YOUR pieces, he is fine. Huge Ego- worst teacher I ever had!I think he "fabricated" the pyramids, or something.

Comment:

Worst art teacher I have ever had. Loved himself. Discouraged all creativity. We disagreed on one project and he was unbeleviably rude to me, and because of our disagreement he almost failed me. DONT EVER TAKE A CLASS WITH THIS TEACHER. Awful. Im and art major, and I have never been so disgusted.
