Comment:
Ihought this class would be my favorite of the semester. It was the worst class I have ever taken. She is unclear, will critique you on different things each time, then give you a bad grade on something she never told you you needed to fix. She expects everyone to be advanced artists even if you have never taken an art class in your life. DONT TAKE

She is probably the worst professor I've ever had. She is very unclear and not helpful whatsoever. Her projects are unnecessarily complex and don't make any sense anyway. There's no structure and she is rude to students who don't understand or are not naturally artistic. If you need the breadth requirement take literally any other class.

Comment:
Pretty bad. Talked a lot about ovaries and inner goddesses. She definitely played favorites, so if you stay on her good side, you'll get a good grade, even with minimal effort. She's unclear and then gets mad when you ask questions, claiming she already explained it. Critiques are garbage.

She challenges you, but if you go to class your good, and she really gets to know her students and what they are capable of. The class doesn't have a ton of structure but she only ever pushed stuff back, never forward. You cannot do worse than a C in this class and Vera keeps it entertaining.

Comment:
She says so many things at once that you will have no idea when things are due and what you need to do for each project. Assignments are pointless, we drew the same food for a whole month. She bases her grading on baseball terms and the class is just one big confusing mess. I took AP art in high school and this was a nightmare.

Unless you're a favorite of hers don't expect to be graded fairly. She is absolutely the worst professor I have ever had. I dread going to this class only because I know I will have to deal with her.

Comment:
I enjoyed Vera as a professor. She is very unclear at times but if you go with your instinct you should be fine. If you can't draw, DON'T take the class. Vera's favorite art movement is probably abstract expressionism so she really likes abstract art in your work. The class is fun and Ver helps you think outside the box.

Vera has good intentions but she is the worst teacher i have ever had..next to wingrave. her assignments are stupid, she makes you feel uncomfortable by making you do performances in front of the class (is this theatre or is this art???) she is unorganized, changes due dates every 10 minutes and isnt clear on instructions. harsh grader/ rude.

Comment:
Vera has been the worst instructor I have ever had. Nobody in the class has any idea whats going on, Vera changes the what and when things are due at least 3 times a class. Our assignments are extremely boring. Although you are free to choose subject matter for assignments, you must do what she "suggests" WHATEVER YOU DO, DON'T TAKE THIS CLASS

I have never been so miserable in a class.This was supposed to be my happy class but it stresses me out and bores me more than any other.She is so unclear.I never know what's going on, and if your art is not exactly what she pictured in her head, it's wrong. She's creepy-she pushed me twice! she critiques your work loud enough for everyone to hear.

Comment:
If contradicting yourself were to be a high paid profession, she would be Steve Jobs. She seems to think that Jackson Pollock died from art supplies rather than a ****en car wreck. Listed Kurt Cobain as a British celebrity. Could not pronounce the simplest names right. IF your own art (which should express yourself) doesn't express her, its crap

I personally loved Vera. She could be confusing and overwhelming at times, but this was a fun class for me. If you try hard, you'll do well. Tell her that you're trying hard and show her that you're making an effort and you'll do well. Ask if you don't know what you're doing or think something sucks, because chances are it does.

She is Just one of the worst female in University of Delaware for sure.Worst professor at UD. She talks way too much, is very unclear, and her way is the only right way. Extremely rude. Doesnt constructively criticize, rather she publicly criticez 99% of the classes work. Announces when poeple were out, why they were out (even if personal.)

Comment:
One of the worst art teachers I have ever had. She talks about nothing all the time, and she doesn't tell you the criteria for a project until just before it is due. She's also really touchy, which makes people uncomfortable. She doesn't give constructive criticism, and isn't helpful AT ALL.

Vera is probably the best professor I have ever encountered. She's smart, extremely approachable, and will go above and beyond to help a student. If you're an Art major, take the time to get to know her.

Comment:
this woman makes every situation uncomfortable. she likes phallic symbols, and anything sexual. even if you didn't intend for your work to be sexual, she will find a way to relate the two... even though its hard to think she's ever had sex. she's just a creeper. oh, and her artwork SUCKS.

I don't recommend her. She was very friendly on a personal level, but not a good teacher. ehh. We spent half the semester just sketching! By the time we got to the fun stuff (glass work & sculpture) we were rushed and annoyed. She talks too much & goes off on tangents daily. No exaggeration, no one in our class ever knew exactly what was going on.

I actually had Vera's class about 7 years ago...and hated it. However, now having completed my MFA she is one of the few professors I can truly look back at and feel grateful. Vera's teaching about learning how to talk about & discuss art using correct terminology has & continues to help myself and now is something I pass on to my students.

Worst teacher I have ever had... in my life. Made me cry, on several occasions. Very odd lady, overtly sexual, teaches you very little and constantly leaves you guessing. Do not take any class with her!!!
