Reviews of professor Mark Brandvik

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 2.0/5
No prior art talent is needed. Mr. Brandvik won't always give feedback, but he will give it if you ask. He gives the basics on different materials to use, and the focus is on learning how to use them, not being perfect at drawing. Your drawing skills WILL improve with this class. As long as you show up and work, you have an A in the class.

Attendance not required but most projects are done in the studio. Prior art skills are unrequired. Great professor, really chill, understands if you are late, probably one of the best art professors in the school. If you need a credit... take it although it can get boring halfway through the semester.

If you are unsure about if you can do art, take this guy. He made it so simple and encouraging. I may not like all art, but I sure did enjoy some aspects and the freedom of the class. He was never hesitant about answering questions and he is so understanding about tardiness and illness. He guides you through the art but doesn't limit you.

Prof. Brandvik is incredible. It's obvious that he really cares about art, and he reignited my desire to pursue art. I'd really like to take another class taught by him.
