Reviews of professor Chris Thornock

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
I took beginning drawing from Chris and I loved it! He is a super funny guy and we always have fun conversations in class. Even if you don't think you are good at drawing he will teach you to become so much better! If you follow directions and put time and effort into the homework you will totally pass.

If you take painting from Chris, get ready to paint a lot. (Obviously) Best thing about professor Thornock is that he gives you opportunities to improve your work throughout the entire semester which is a huge plus, and makes the critique actually worth something. Chris is a solid choice for a painting professor.

Professor Thornock is extremely talented with high standards for submitted work but offers support to back those expectations. He inspired me to work hard, provided great class critiques, allowed for projects to be reworked, not just for a better grade but for the hands-on experience of improvement. Assigned projects provided excellent learning.

Chris is one of the best in the Illustration department! He bridges the gap between school and the industry. If money is tight, you never have to fall behind because of supply costs. He addressed real obstacles I was struggling with and is the reason I love oil painting now. I'm graduating now, but had to share because he is way underappreciated.

Pro. Thornock is one of my most favorite professors. He is hilarious and makes the class enjoyable. He gave plenty of time to do his projects. He was consistent when things were due and had clear grading criteria (as much as you can in art). He gave honest good feedback. I liked his projects too. Seriously one of the best professors I have ever had

Chris is great at what he does. I learned a lot even just by watching him paint. He's very easy to contact outside of class for any additional feedback as well.

Class with Chris was a nightmare. He was rude and hard to work with. There was so much homework to do with little time to do it, he expected you to lose sleep over his class to get his homework done. He made sure to tell me that I was a failure in his eyes and that I should drop out of school or quit my job because I wasn't working hard enough.
