Comment:

This is the absolute worst professor I have ever had! She gives very limited feedback on projects and does NOT care if you have no art background. She gives absolutely no leeway when it comes to projects. She has a very specific way she likes projects done and unless you are Picasso she will grade you super harshly. DO NOT TAKE THIS AS A GE!!

Comment:

Professor Sayago is a credit to FLC. She is a highly skilled Professor who will help, aid and be available to students who need guidance in their projects. She is very approachable and kind, but you will have to put in the work and attendance to get a respectable grade in this class. If you want an easy 'A' this is not the class for you at all.

Comment:

Prof Sayago is super sweet and funny. I learned a lot in this class and improved my artistic skills significantly. However, this class is by no means an easy A. You have to put in the effort and demonstrate your understanding of what she teaches. If you pay attention during lectures and complete your assignments, you will be fine :)

Great teacher! Always to the point and tells you how to improve as well. Clear and interesting assignments. Makes a fun classroom - short lecture, long time drawing, not to mention plays good music. Funny and awesome personality. Cares about her students, accessible outside of class whenever you need help.

Another amazing professor! Listen to instruction, but don't be afraid to ask questions if you didn't understand something. Sayago is fun and relaxed, but can be serious from time to time. Though, when she is, there is usually a good reason. Some of my favorite pieces have been created in her classes and I'd highly suggest taking her.

Prof. Sayago is a great teacher, that said the class is NOT an easy A, you have earn it by doing all the homework and do the in class work. I learned so much about drawing from this class.

Comment:

Marisa is an excellent professor, I have taken both a clay class and a printmaking class. I had very little to no experience in either art class before her and she taught me a lot while still leaving a lot of room for personal creativity. I would 100% recommend her, she's awesome!

Sayago is a great, honest art teacher. That said, don't be surprised if she tells you that you're art is sucking. It's relative to the individual though and she really pays attention to how you are improving overall. Don't take this class if you're expecting an easy and carefree class, go expecting to learn.

Marisa is a true artist. She has a cute, funny personality & is very willing to help. Homework's due each week. There is drawing or painting every class and you use what you've done in class to create your midterm and then final portfolio. Also for the final you complete one drawing and painting as well as an exam.

If you're taking her for ART 300, don't. She makes art SO hard and NOT fun. Not just an easy A art class

She is nice and does care about how you do in the class. She offers many extra credit opportunities and you have homework almost every weekend. She does grade a little tough on the homework so try you best. You are drawing everyday, so if you like drawing, I would definitely recommend this class.

This class was really easy if you just do the homework and in class work. She can tell whether you put in a lot of effort into your drawings. Just take the time to do the homework and class work well and you should be getting an A.

Comment:

Marisa is charismatic and funny, and a really enjoyable presence. Her feedback is more critical than helpful, but she is also very supportive. The classroom environment is very casual and entertaining. The drawing of live models (yes, they're nude) can a little boring at times because poses get repetitive, and it's what we do every class.

Comment:

I loved this class, Sayago helped me realize how much I really love art. I liked how the class was only graded by about 5 or 6 projects using different techniques. If you're not confident in one of the techniques or projects just make up for it by going above and beyond on your other projects. Aside from the art there is a research paper & a final.

Comment:

I had a lot of fun in this class, mostly at the beginning. I learned a lot from Professor Sayago, definitely things I will remember for a long time. She was very funny, and would let you listen to music in class. Only complaint is: when you were doing something wrong she could be pretty mean and condescending about it. Overall, good class.

Do not expect to get an A in this class right off the bat. She is very critical, and is not afraid to point out any flaws in your artwork. She knows what she is teaching, and will not hesitate to help. She has a maternal vibe when she interacts with her students in casual conversations. If you're looking for an easy A, this class isn't for you.
