Reviews of professor Douglas Flack

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
Definitely take any of his classes that he is teaching if you are serious about improving your art. Complacency will be a detriment towards your grade if you are in any of his classes. If you plan to go for an easy A for the Digital Painting course that turn back now, you'll thank yourself later.

You for sure need to make time for this class outside of the set class time. It's easy to get behind if you don't keep up on the work.

Flack is a critical grader when it comes to your final projects, but while working on your assignments in class he is very helpful when giving tips to improve your work, so as long as you follow what he instructs, show up 85% of the time, and read over the rubric you should receive a solid grade. He is also very positive and makes the class fun.

Memorize, refresh, memorize. Don't let up on the memorizing of muscles and bones at any point. Don't think you have them down - just keep refreshing your memory every week. Flip through the book until it makes sense. Don't get behind. Hardest class I've taken in the art department. Well worth the effort if you want to draw the human body accurately

This is not the kind of class to express yourself in drawing. However, it is probably the most important drawing class that I've taken in years. The Professor will teach you how to draw exactly what you see in front of you. It requires a thick skin because, he will go over your drawing and make corrections over mistakes if he has too.

Be ready to do labor intensive homework. Because you'll be smashing lots of rocks and other materials for colored pigments. Read the book carefully and you should be able to pass ever quiz question.

Professor Flack is a reservoir of insight. In 'Anatomy for the Artist' his love & knowledge of the human form shines with enlightening brilliance. Flack seems eternally eager to share his knowledge. Study the material & put understanding to practice. If you pursue excellence, then this course is a logical step for creatives & valuable experience.

For anyone looking to be serious about improving on drawing human anatomy more accurately, then this is the class to take. Know that you must dedicate a lot of time to the assignments, especially the ecroche clay model. This isn't the kind of course you should take lightly. He'll be strict but fair with your performance in class.

McGarren is absolutely the one you want to take if you are interested in really learning about art. He will push you, give you great feedback and instruction, and force you to improve. My only problem is that I'm an overachiever and he thinks that a C is a good grade! That said, I would 100% always take any course he teaches and grow as an artist!
