| Comments: | This course was very challenging. The teacher pushed us beginners very hard and fast due to the lack of time. There was a field trip to the National Gallery in London, which was very instructional. I learned to look at paintings from a different perspective than I usually do. The teacher is always knowledgeable and well-prepared on the subject of art. I participated the same amount that I would have at my home institution. |
