ARTS 2610

Before I took this course with professor Chan, I freaked out because of her reviews. They all claimed she was tough and rigid. I beg to differ. If you do your work and participate, your grade shouldn't be too bad. Your first project grade will likely shock/scare you (mine was in the mid-eighties), but the rest of the grades are generally higher. One tip that I would give to those coming into the class is, listen during the critiques (at the end of each project, you will hang your work alongside the rest of the class' and then all of you will sit and provide complements/constructive criticism). It is not only important to listen to your classmates, but also professor Chan. You should be able to sort of gauge based off of what she liked/didn't about your work and others, the type of thing she generally looks for when she grades. Honestly, this tip works for most all art classes as well. Don't work purely for what you think the professor will like though, just have a general idea in mind. In the end, I enjoyed this class. Be prepared to work, but also remember that this is a fun class, don't get so absorbed in your work that you forget to have fun and experiment with it. I would recommend this class to most anyone.

I liked Amy, though she could be pretty blunt, so if you have thin skin and can't take a hit this is not a class for you. She assigned massive amounts of Homework. The class set up was usually pretty chill and go at your own pace once the semester really got rolling.
