Foon hasn't had a review written in awhile, but he is a great professor with a great sense of humor. He's a well-known artist and has notable pieces. His feedback in class is very useful and he helps add onto your ideas. Although, his grading could say otherwise. He can praise you in class, but when it comes to the grading the finished product, your grade could be different, but nothing too crazy like a C+. It's his form of critiquing. His projects are pretty time consuming as well, but that's the beauty of it. There are 3/4 projects, and then a final paper

Charlotte is such a nice professor. She was great at giving feedback and letting us express ourselves. She would go around individually to hear what our plans were going to be for our project and would fully listen and help us out if we were struggling. I highly recommend her!

I like Steve a lot. He's a great guy, really genuine, and checked-in on me when I was having a hard time. Aside from him as a person, I have some grievances about his instruction: Grades need to be entered throughout the course - it is 2 weeks til the end of the semester and have zero (0) grades in canvas for this course and I do not know where I stand; A set required materials list needs to be communicated at the beginning of the course; I am a little upset with how much money I needed to spend on this course because of under-utilized materials I needed to obtain. But, as long as you go to class, do ur projects, and have a good attitude you will be just fine in class with Steve. glhf

Great guy who is really nice and knowledgeable about a lot of things. He has a lot of experience working with well known artists and producing art himself. I took him for 200 and 479E and he was great for both

He can be a tough grader, but is otherwise laid back and does not usually require attendance if you produce art.

Jeremy is a great professor! Taking this class, I was apprehensive at first, because I've never liked sculpture much. But Jeremy was really helpful during each stage of my projects--as long as you let him know when you're struggling, he's always happy to help you find solutions for whatever you're trying to do. I went into one project with little idea of how to execute it, but by the end of it I'd learned how to use multiple new tools and I was really happy with the result!

Professor Sham is the BEST. I would recommend him to anyone, including non-majors and people uninterested in sculpture. He's very energetic, friendly, and fun. There was never a time I didn't look forward to going to his class. He really cares about his students, gives you great feedback and tips to help you improve your work. This class was one of my absolute favorites to take thus far in my education, and I would absolutely take a course with Foon again. He invites you to his gallery openings for extra credit, and even once took a friend and me around to other galleries in DC with his wife, which was hilariously fun.

An excellent professor, who really cares about is students. He has a lot of work in the dc area, and is relatively famous. Students vote for the projects that they want to do at the beginning of the class. Early projects are rather restrictive, but later projects allow you to do whatever you want under loose guidelines. You will use a lot of materials and power tools in the class. He throws a huge party after cleanup at the end of the year. Greatly recommended.

Professor Jones "Jonsie" is awesome! He is sarcastic and seemingly intimidating, however he is harmless! He is very helpful and really inspired me to just go try different things and not worry so much about their outcome. He encourages community in the classroom and I am glad to have had him as a professor.
