Reviews of professor Lien Truong

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
As a non-art major, Lien has been very understanding of my level of experience and extremely helpful to make sure I have the information to complete my painting. She is very friendly and open, and she makes sure to know each student on a personal basis.

Lien is amazing and her course made me learn and improve so much. She also sees your work and influences and recommends other artists to look at and take inspiration from. She definitely can tell when you slack off and are not putting enough effort or time in but its better to have that pressure and make good work than to just half-ass the projects

She is an amazing professor who clearly loves her job and provides excellent, gentle feedback, but if 8 AMs make you cry like me, I would not recommend. I had barely any painting experience, but I learned a lot in this class. However, the materials are expensive, and be prepared to spend hours in the studio because this class is a lot of work.

I highly recommend Lien if you are looking to learn how to paint well. She is very strict about attendance and is a harsh critic, but she is also a fair grader. Be prepared to work hard: she doesn't put up with laziness in class, and expects you to put in 6+ hours of work a week. If you want an easy professor, take someone else.
