very closed minded and bullies painting that do not fit into her style. Harsh critic and does not accept when you respectfully disagree with her.ART2340 2024-04-11 16:02:08 +0000 UTC
Mira is great! She has such a sarcastic side once you really understand her. She knows what she's talking about and tries to share that with the students. She will definitely push you and won't pull punches if she needs to. He critiques are spot on and I enjoyed her sense of humor.ART127 2017-05-09 15:48:43 +0000 UTC
This lady is a complete space cadet. She encourages you to be creative in our assignments, then critiques you for not doing what SHE wants you to do. She was a nice enough Professor, but I definitely wouldn't take another class from her, there's just no structure or continuity.ABRD510601 2014-12-04 08:14:39 +0000 UTC
Challenging but interesting class. Good for students who want to know what art world is like & can handle a lot of at-home work. Mira can be quite critical so best not get too attached to work. Mira is a seasoned, brutally honest teacher with an opinion on all things art & if students can appreciate this they will get a lot out of her coursesARTS3449 2013-04-23 16:06:34 +0000 UTC
Mira is a wonderful teacher and If you keep an open mind you can learn a lot. She is very experienced in the arts and knows how to push you. She may be harsh at times but art revolves around criticism. Not a teacher for a beginner and certainly should not be teaching basic classes. all around. smart lady. spacey though.IRELAART 2010-07-31 19:54:56 +0000 UTC
didn't really teach anything, but is quick to offer criticism. floats in and out of the classroom, very spaced out. one positive, she does try to compliment everyone's work during critiques. if you cant paint well and she doesnt like you, you dont have a prayer.PAINT1 2008-03-13 14:40:16 +0000 UTC
She is a little serious. You have to paint for homework which kinda sucks if you were expecting the class to be a joke. She's kind of hard to please.PAINTING1 2005-10-26 17:27:50 +0000 UTC

Worst teacher and class! Had us drawing pictures of the same object for the entire class - and never taught us anything - we jsut kept drawing. Also - quite a space cadet.ART333 2005-04-02 17:43:29 +0000 UTC

Critiques are unnecessarily harsh and unrelated to the art itself. Highkey feels like bullying. Don't take her.ART2340 2024-01-24 00:56:00 +0000 UTC
means well, not very helpful, doesnt know much about painting, seems like she just wants to get out of class as soon as possible, doesnt always come to the whole class. as an advisor doesnt always show up for meetings, it was hard to stay focused in a class where the teacher didnt seem interested.ART127 2006-11-07 19:48:45 +0000 UTC
