Must stay the whole 6 hours every week. Gives more assignments & homework than any of my other classes-just for a non-majors class! Expensive. While painting, no phone are allowed-you're not even allowed to listen to music with one ear bud! If you miss the final day, it's 10% off of your grade! She is nice. Our time in class is super slow.

Marissa is respectful and she is respected. I looked forward to receiving feedback from her on my art projects because she is such a skilled artist. I would recommend this course to all students looking to take a fun, and full-filling class outside of their major. She cares about her students and goes out of her way to make it such a fun class!

This class was easily my favorite this semester. While it did take a second to get into a routine of making time to paint and do the little weekly assignments, once I did it was great. She teaches at a level that appeals to both beginners and more experienced painters. She often made time to stay after class to give further help with projects

Marisa grades on effort and progress, not talent. I would not have received an A otherwise, so I liked that. Participation and attendance are extremely important. She was chill during drawing time and let us work as we please. I would take another art class from Marissa in the future.

I took this class not expecting much but really happy I did. Even thoUgh Im not the best artist Im proud of the art I made. I thought Marisa was a great teacher and did her best to give us Individual help. Shes really passionate about art. Overall good class and recommend. If you go in with good attitude to learn new things it will be worth it.

Marissa allows nearly zero flexibility in your projects. There are frequent writing assignments that have virtually no relation back to the art projects that feel more like busy work than anything. Very little ability to be creative and express yourself in her class--I left this class completely hating art.

I was sooo excited for this class! But she treats the students like high schoolers, which she also teaches. She's kind & tries to make things fun, but assigned us more assignments than all my other classes combined. It's supposed to be a fun class, but students must stay the full 3 hours every time but can not listen to music. Wouldn't reccomend.

I really felt like I could be myself here. I wasn't ignored, or made to feel like a beginner. She listened well and did her best to help me produce quality art. Always made us feel like our feedback was important.
