Reviews of professor Vladimir Goryachev

Rating: 4.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
2nd time having Vlad as my prof (previously had him for ART317A), very knowledgeable and skilled. Monotone voice with a dry sense of humor. Tough and picky grader, not very open to techniques other than what he teaches, students will have to adapt to his drawing methods if they want to get a decent grade

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Vlad is a great person; however, I dreaded going to class for the sheer amount of work we had to do and my frustration with my lack of improvement, even when I asked for one-on-one help. We had assignments every week (even during Thanksgiving break!!!), so be prepared to spend a lot of money on supplies.

Must be attentive even for what assignments are to come and what materials are to use, please email or contact the professor in advance about materials needed for the class of that week. Must not miss out on classes because you will be noted by him through your grade.
