Reviews of professor Brian Bowes

Rating: 2.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
I had Bowes during his first time teaching ILLU 326. I made some great portfolio pieces and the workload helped me improve. He was also unprofessional as a teacher, in one instance starting an argument with a student, and mocking another student for having their phone out. Along with inconsistent criteria and slow grading, it was not a great time.

He will give you many many many more homework as long as the course going without any sense. Even though he gives you a good grade, that's still meaningless. His homeworks make you hate what you doing and your career.

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Overloaded assignments (seriously! He expects you to draw 40 sketches, 10 refined drawings, 2-5 fully rendered character designs and a fully rendered final illustration IN TWO WEEKS! and there are more! Two quizzes and two sketch exercises you need to complete along with the project)

Also Very unclear grading criteria DO NOT TAKE HIM.

Bowes has the spirit of a ten year old boy and the wisdom of a sage. Man is a literal ray of sunshine, he is my favorite prof at scad so far. He is very knowledgeable about his craft and also extremely caring. While in his class you will experience great artistic growth. Workload is immense though so make sure to balance it with easier classes.
