ART 999
Quality 5/5Difficulty 3/5
Everybody loves John! He's the most friendly professor in the UW art department and you would never know how incredibly successful of an artist he is because he is so humble. If you need support and an encouraging mentor, John is the guy. He can be a little hard to get ahold of (don't even bother emailing him) but he's worth it!

I only had him for Art 469, the Studio Seminar, but all you have to do to get an A is show up. John is the best, too. Definitely would take again.
