Comment:
Johanna is so passionate about printmaking. She also genuinely cares about her students. I struggled with some late work- I went to her and she was super understanding. Ended up with an A-. Her feedback is super positive, idea-provoking, and gets you even more excited about the project you're working on. I totally recommend taking her class.

Johanna is hands down my favorite professor/teacher. She is tough on grading, but only to push you to become better. I as an artist, I grew immensely under Johanna. If you're struggling with an idea, she is more than happy to help. Expect to spend lots of extra hours in the shop throughout the semester, but if you put in the work, you'll pass.

Comment:
Johanna was my professor for ART 150-350. Shes a tough grader because she wants to bring out the best in you. She appreciates those who take advantage of the opportunity to re-do a project. My final grade went from a B to an A because I re-did several projects. She doesnt appreciate laziness and half-assed work.

Comment:
She organized a print exchange and the portfolio I received had only three out of 11 with names. When confronted she tried to convince me that unsigned prints were a trend. She did identify and lable them when I Insisted but with resistance and because she as in the art office with witnesses. Other students also received same.

She is such a nice lady, she explains everything in extreme detail which is a nice change of pace from most professors, and she teaches you more than you could ever imagine! She won't give you an A unless you are exceptional. Although if you do the work you will at least pass. All around she is a great woman but be prepared to work!

Johanna is by far my favorite professor at CMU. No other professor has pushed, supported, or encouraged me as she has. Yes, she is a very tough grader, but only because she pushes you to make every project better than your last. She pushes you to make the artwork YOU want to make. Johanna is responsible for so much of my growth as an artist.

Printmaking is pretty difficult and it takes a lot of your time. I love Johanna and in hindsight I learned so much in her class. She makes you think and want to do well. She really pushes you and I think I have grown because of her. So thanks, Johanna!

Johanna is probably my favorite teacher at CMU. Really tough grader, does not play favorites. Always tells you whats good, and what sucks. Is completely invested into making you a better artist, even if that means pushing you to a breaking point. Expect to spend tons of time outside of class. If you want to grow as an artist, take her classes.

Very hard class. Expect 5-10 hours of work outside of class, but in wightman hall. Teacher shows no sympathy for students at all.

I loved this class mainly due to her teaching style. She was very understanding and I respected her so much. She really knows her stuff, and really pushes her students really hard. It was one of the few classes where I felt like I was actually making art for myself. She grades kind of harshly, but only with the intention of pushing students more.

She is super nice, and probably the most understanding professor on campus. She expects a lot out of everyone. She is one of my fav. professors so far.
