This is one of the best art classes, thanks to Jim. He is very supportive and enthusiastic about students' work, has lots of resources, and encourages people to experiment. The class is fun and the atmosphere is relaxed, but everyone is working at the same time. I would take this class again!Rate My Professors ↗
Jim is extremely nice and helpful. I'm taking his letterpress this semester, and this class is pretty easy. By easy, I mean I feel relaxed taking this class. There's no must do assignments or homework, you just do what ever you're interested in class. Jim can always give helpful advice and he's really inspiring. DO NOT hesitate to take this class.Rate My Professors ↗
