Reviews of professor Daniel Oliva

Rating: 1.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
If I had the choice I would never take him. I thought he was cool in the beginning but he had a really bad habit of drawing all over mine (and other people's) drawings without permission and giving backhanded compliments. I felt unprepared going into figure drawing bc my next teacher was shocked at what he didn't teach us. Avoid if you can.

The course is not easy, especially if you're not good at art. The homeworks are a bit too much but still acceptable. The teacher is really great, he always try to encourage students, and he's also pretty nice.

Daniel is a very nice person, but when it comes to grading your art he is SUPER tough and unclear. He says its an introductory drawing class, so he expects no one to have experience but then will give you a C if it doesn't look amazing, but there was lots of effort. He doesn't give clear feedback.
