Reviews of professor Matthew Johnson

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
Great at breaking down the basics and breaking your bad habits. In the short time I've had his he's helped me evolve in drawing and I've witnessed poor drawers in the class become significantly better. Even if you think you're good you WILL have room for improvement and you will improve. Critiques are honest and insightful.

No teaching style, he is rude and has very poor communication skills. Talks for most of the class so nothing gets sketched. He is compassionate for the art not for the struggling students behind it. (Students without transportation or steady finances) Great at teaching themes, terrible at teaching techniques. Would not recommend.

I'm still in the process of taking this class but I would label this class as come for the art stay for the hilarious stories about MJ. He told us about getting pooped in the eye by a bird after looking up at the sky and the random things he would eat as a child. He is also very caring and thoughtful don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Love you MJ

Really loved this class and I learned a lot. He pushes you out of your comfort zone and really tries to get you to make your best work. Participation is definitely mandatory in this class and the syllabus is strict , but the discussions are all helpful and enjoyable . If you participate and show up , he really will help you improve your skills

This is my favorite professor this semester. He genuinely cares about his students. He gives great critiques and I have learned so much over the course of this semester. I have progressed a lot over this semester thanks to his teachings.

Matthew Johnson is incredibly rude and disrespectful. His poor communication and class management skills make for an extremely hard class. Expect to be insulted by this guy. If he doesn't like you or your art style he will literally make fun of you. Tries to act like your friend and not your teacher. The man has no boundaries.

One of the rudest teachers Ive ever encountered. I will never take a class with him again if I can help it. Doesnt try to help you if youre sick and expects you to know everything going on. On top of it all, he will definitely show you attitude when you turn to him for help! Cried in his class a few times because he doesnt help you whatsoever.

Cares about the students progression. He is understanding and ready to help if you need it, just ask.

Matthew is a real, honest professor that provides real, honest critiques of your work when needed. His Figure Drawing I course is a challenge, but it is so incredibly rewarding and if you listen to what he has to say and put in genuine effort, you really will see yourself improve. 100% recommend taking his class if you are willing to put in effort.
