I took Professor Giesel for Beginning photo.We learned how to make film photographs and prints.I went through a lot of film and paper in the beginning and was a bit frustrating,when I was short,Giesel would give me more.He always encouraged me to stick it out and by the end of the class my skills improved.He always showed great slides.

I took Professor Giesel-Last Fall for Advanced Darkroom.The class was great we did many specialized projects,that helped me understand printing better,such as split filtering.We went over the zone system and made large 16"x20" prints.Everything was pretty laid out and straight forward.Giesel would give good lectures & examples and was inspiring.

I took the class on-line as a GE course last spring, professor Giesel was fine. The class was laid out pretty clearly, if you did the assignments on time, his grading was pretty easy. It was great to learn so many art facts and histories. We got to make an art piece for the course, now I'm starting to draw and paint more.

I would recommend Professor Giesel.I think the class was well organized,the work being focused around the different forms of art which I enjoyed very much.Although grades were not updated as often as I would have liked,every semester is different regarding grades being put in and I was still able to stay on task with the class and not fall behind.

Taking Professor Giesel's class was really inspirational and also made me re-look at my own art practice in new ways. He gave such great care anytime I approached him with questions or suggestions regarding the class and my own art practice too! I have a lot of respect for him as a working artist -- his lectures were amazing.

I took Professor Giesel in the spring of 2023. I found the course to be inspiring and well-organized. We surveyed many different topics in art, especially ones that challenged me. He was a little behind on grading, but overall passionate and caring about the course. It sparked a new interest in me.

I Highly recommend taking Professor Giesel's Art 100 class. The workload may be heavy, but very doable. He takes an interest in his students and is very approachable and understanding. He replies to emails in a timely manner. He is very passionate about art, which is something I admire, and it inspired me to work a little more harder this semester.

Horrible class.Kept saying he would have grades done and hw posted "on wensday" "by sunday" etc whatever he could come up with and lie about. Waiting untill he was pretty much required to post them or untill enough people would ask where the assignment are. Near the end of the semester he opted to do online since he couldn't be bothered to show up.
