Reviews of professor Devora Orantes

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
She is a very knowledgeable artist & teacher from which you can learn a lot. Grading & attendance policies are strict but honestly this is college, if you don't show up don't expect to learn or grow. Overall, it's hard work yes, but she is more than happy to help if you just ASK for help, while being respectful/caring, learned a lot!

She's somewhat helpful, but very critical and a tough grader. It's almost impossible to get a perfect grade unless your artwork meets her standards. Attendance is mandatory, and if you reach up to 4 absences she automatically drops you from the class, no remorse. If you're late, she threatens to lock the doors. Not a very considerate instructor.

I really enjoyed how much Prof. Orantes pushed me while taking her class. Majority of the assignments I felt that I was not skilled enough to achieve, but with her feedback and the encouragement from other classmates, it made this class really fun and I learned a lot. I hope to take her for Drawing II next Spring.
