Sima is super chill if you know what you're doing. Class was easy for artists who've been in art studio classrooms before, but I'd overhear her feedback to newer people and it would rub me the wrong way. "It's not very good to me" and things like that. But she gave me good advice on my artwork and the final was making a book that we'd then present to the rest of the class which was actually really fun. All in all, take her if you have some experience with art. If you don't have any experience, then you should still take her, just make sure you talk to her if you have any questions and don't stray away from the projects.

it’s not the best. you have around 5 projects in total, and they can get pretty tedious at times. you really have to go out of your way to get feedback, and sometimes you’ll think you’re on the right track and it isn’t until critique day that suddenly there were many issues with your work. we didn’t do any wood projects, which, if you want to take ARTT333, you’ll be at a bigger disadvantage than the people who took Foon Sham for 200. honestly, there just wasn’t a lot of engagement, and it kind of turned me off from wanting to continue sculpture work (which luckily wasn’t my concentration anyway). it’s not the worst class, but i think if you’re not much into sculpture already or are coming from outside of the art major, i would probably recommend another professor as your first introduction.
