Reviews of professor Mateo Tannatt

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 5.0/5
Please do not take this class especially if he is teaching, he was the most unprofessional and disorganize teacher with a high ego in everything, he yells at students,I saw him having an argument with a teacher aid in front of all the students and he also yelled at a student because she was not doing the stuff he wanted her to do his way.

I personally didn't really hate Mateo, he might've had a hard time keeping the class materials well organized and stuff but if you do your own part and do good in the class then he's always happy to help you with your projects or any questions you have. My only complaint would be that he seemed a bit stressed and overwhelmed in class oftentimes :/

Mateo is unorganized with how the course will go. We did not even go over the syllabus on the first day of class. His canvas is cluttered and confusing. He is loose about deadlines and not great at communicating to the class as a whole. Doesn't even email announcements. Expect discussion boards as hw. I learned a lot, but it was stressful.

I had both ART 316B and 216A with Mateo, and I can safely say that he is one of my favorite sculpture professors of all time He is helpful, pushes you to try new things that might scare you, and is very understanding if you communicate with him. Loose deadlines, fun prompts, and tries new things. I would take another class with him if I could.

He's very kind and understandably has a lot going on, taking his classes as electives are fine

However the entire Sculpture BFA program is an abysmal waste of time

He teaches the exact same class, his critiques take HOURS, and most of the time is dedicated to making artist slideshows

He has not once listened to my direct feedback on any of this.
