Reviews of professor Neal Galloway

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Neal's a super understanding and fun teacher. He really helps you understand drawing fundamentals. His art anecdotes also made the beginning of each class really fun. He follows his syllabus super on point as well and is very clear about materials you'll need.

Nice but felt a lot of projects were unnecessarily complicated; write ups on art and pre-drawings before final piece. Also class is usually 2 hours long twice a week and for art that can be pretty extensive. *required to have camera on*

Neal as a person is very kind and funny, but as a professor, he is an incredibly tough grader and seems to grade on whether he personally likes the art piece or not. He grades and critiques as though the class is a 300 level when its only a 100 level. 151 was the lowest grade ive ever received in an art class, despite completing all assignments

Not for me. Will drop you from class if sick or have an emergency and are missing more than 6 classes. There were NO excuses and he did not care. DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS.

Neal truly will help you learn about the elements and principals of art. In this class you get to work with many materials you might not have worked with yet. He listens to students needs and sticks to the syllabus 100%. Try your hardest, pay attention, show up, and you will have a great time. Also, remember critics are to help you improve.

He's a great teacher and professor, and his lectures are very informative, but his grading is super confusing (at least for me) and i often got a few or half points taken off with little explanation why. I'd put full effort in and try to follow the rubric exactly, but would still get an 8 or 9.5 out of 10. He's definitely a tough grader.

I am by no means a 3-D artist, but this class was great. Neal is a really caring professor, and takes the time to make sure everyone is getting the help they need.  The projects were fun and inspiring, but difficult because he expects the most out of his students. This class helped me to create some of the best artwork I have ever made.
