Teaching Reviews

"I got into NYU Tisch! Thank you so much for you advice and help as well!! I am really grateful!" J.L. (US-Portfolio Development, 2020-2021)

"Thank you for giving us this chance to express our own feelings about the pandemic [through our artwork]. 2020 is a disaster but there are always people and things moving us in our life. I appreciate all these people who helped build a better community for us. Thank you!" E.W. (US-Studio Art, Fall 2020)

"Since the beginning of semester... you [have] supported my working and studying in Studio Art. Thanksgiving Day is coming. At this moment, I want to say “Thank you” to you.

 When I am not that confident about my ability on finishing projects, you always encourage me. Without your encouragement, these pieces would probably have been stifled before they become a final artwork. At each of the midnight art classes, your smile, your laughter and your jokes make me feel like basking in the midday sun, a very warm feeling. Your caring about whether I attend classes gives me a nice feeling of being cared for. Your suggestions are really professional and precise. After you suggested, almost all problems are found out. Your suggestions often give me a sense of enlightenment!

 Also, I am very happy that we can easily understand each other, especially when last time you said you understand my meaning of creating that charcoal painting. The feeling of being understood... is precious and wonderful..." J.Z. (US-Studio Art, Fall 2020)
