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

Possibly the best professor in the art department. He really is passionate about sculpture. I looked him up and he's pretty much a celebrity in the art world. He's so humble and will sit down with you one-on-one to teach you how to use the tools or how to push your concepts. He's a fair grader too.

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.
