Michael was a really good teacher, felt like he really cared about me and wanted to get to know me. Classes are about 15 people tops, and he would always go around the room and share insight. Demonstrated well and had fun projects, especially for an intro class. Glad I got to take his classRate My Professors ↗

Prof. Velliquette is a good guy. Class is very fair and well-structured. As a non-art major, I found the class to be fascinating and engaging. He doesn't waste your time with busy work. Would highly recommend this class if you are looking to fill three credits in your schedule.Rate My Professors ↗

He was probably the best instructor I have ever taken a class with. While the class was online, he made it very clear that he was always available for his students. Assignments were easy, although time consuming. He is passionate about art and really wants his students to be as well, regardless of their degree plan.Rate My Professors ↗

I took this online course and I was truly amazed by Prof Velliquette. He gave extremely detailed feedback on every project and assignment, this was easily the most and best feedback I've received from a Prof here. He cares about his students. Every week: 1 sketchbook assignment, 2 written responses, a lecture video, 1 review quiz. Not bad at all.Rate My Professors ↗
