Reviews of professor Danny Escalante

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 1.0/5
Professor Escalante is super great, easygoing, and a caring professor. He never graded harshly. He truly just wants you to try your best to learn the techniques but he never cared for perfection. Even if it is a "bad" drawing but you tried your best that's all he cared about. Overall, I truly enjoyed his class as it honestly felt therapeutic!

Danny is all around one of the better Art professors you can learn from. He grades mainly on participation and comprehension of simple art techniques. He motivates his students and is overall fairly laid back. Still, you will learn some good drawing techniques.

Professor Escalante's class was very fun and started from the absolute basics all the way through drawing portraits. The class is assignment heavy but he wants everyone to do a good job and grades based off of effort. There was a large range of prior drawing skills in my class so its a good starting class for anyone wanting to learn how to draw.

Very understanding when it comes to covid. If you follow instructions you'll pass the class. Its not very hard. Very young and a kind professor. Zoom classes mostly lasted from 30min-1hr. not very long

Professor Escalante really wants everyone to learn in his class and is more than a fair grader. Even if you have absolutely zero art skills, he'll grade you on the effort that you put into each assignment and gives great feedback. He's also super understanding. I had asked for a two day extension for one project and he gave me an entire week.

I love his class! His class has helped me improve my drawing from week 1 to last the last week. I didn't know how much my drawing can improve in 6 weeks since it was fast-paced. Everyone was really nice and welcoming in my class. Overall, easy A and he was a great teacher! :)
