Comment:

Todd has been an inspiration in my life and I literally only had him for one semester with no plans of having him, or any other art teacher, ever again (since I am a Biology major). Take this class, or any other Todd class, if you want to be challenged in a fun and creative way, while also getting daily support in whatever way you may need.

I've learned more in his class than any other. He is very clear in his descriptions and is willing to work with you to help you improve. If my schedule wasn't full, I would definitely take another class with him.

Comment:

Overall great professor. Projects in the beginning can be hard because he isn't that clear on what it is you are doing. But once you finally have an understanding, he is very helpful if you ask and if he sees that you are making an effort. He does tend to get carried away talking to students who aren't even in the class, which can be frustrating.

Comment:

Todd Lowery is exceptionally knowledgable in the field of design. He holds students in his studio class to a high standard, but gives them the ability to reach it. His studio class made me a better designer and problem-solver; you will get a lot out of taking Foundations Studio with him.

Comment:

Todd is an amazing professor. He knows what he's talking about, he will give you no BS and he will always help in anything that you need. You probably won't understand the projects at first, go with the process and you're sure to get there. Ask for feedback constantly. Don't wait until you're almost done or you may have to start over.

Cares about his students. As long as you show up to class and show continual progress and effort you'll be fine. He's my favorite professor to just sit and talk about life with.

Todd is a great professor and mentor. He genuinely cares about the thought process that goes into design. Todd is challenging and at times frustrating but you WILL learn. Todd is therefore my favorite professor.

One of the best teachers I have ever had. He isn't easy and you definitely don't want to take hm if you want an easy A. But, it you want to be better at art he is the guy to go to.

Comment:

Todd really cares about his students, and wants them to understand what he's looking for. As a science major in an art class, I found him clear in his expectations that he's looking for you to follow his directions, not produce a product. So long as you follow directions you'll do well!

One of the best teachers at this university. Yes, you will have to work hard sometimes in his classes, but you will learn how to create a decent work of art.

Comment:

Wow, what a hand full. Crazy guy, full of energy. Although, I am pretty sure Todd's mission is to make little "Todd Lowery's" sorry to let u know but its his way or no way, everything else is just stupid. Just ask him he'll tell u! Very demanding, but a good guy. Assings were easy but his expectations are crazy! U will never meet them. Thats it.

Demanding, but an excellent teacher. The way he explains things can be a little abstract, and wants you to work hard, but I learned a lot in his class.

Very helpful instructor. He's interested in his students' thought processes and doesn't put people in a box. He's extremely bubbly and enthusiastic, but can be a very tough critic.

Todd is my hero. He is one of the most enjoyable and best teachers I've ever had. He keeps it very interesting, and keeps things moving. Caffeine addiction adds more fun to class. Tough grader, and very thought provoking.

I had never drawn a thing in my life. But after this class, i look at the world a little differently and as far as drawing goes, i will never look at anything being only focused on objects. thanks todd!
