Professor Shown is a very experienced and knowledgable professor who wants to inspire his students. He really helps with providing students with connections and realistic goals if they're pursuing a design career. The course does include a bit of self teaching. He stresses attendance and weekly activities so staying on top of work is important.ARTG1250 2023-04-14 02:08:32 +0000 UTC
Class os extremely hands on and you get started immediately on the 1st of 3 projects. There aren't really a lot of lectures or content to learn its more doing projects and learning on the spot. But the projects are really fun when you get into it but they can be time consuming.ARTG1250 2021-12-20 03:34:52 +0000 UTC
HW assignments can be long but interesting if you like design. Ben is a great and engaging teacher and I would definitely take a class with him again. He is knowledgeable about art and design and has a lot of previous experience in the field.ARTG1250 2021-02-09 15:06:27 +0000 UTC
