Prof. Cong is an absolute master in his craft. Be it traditional Chinese ink painting or printmaking, it's no wonder he's recognized for his skill internationally as well as here at WPU. Be sure to pay close attention to each demonstration, as it's easy to get lost at times. (Take notes!) He's a powerhouse at the art department, & a wonderful soul.

One of the best professors at WPU. He is passionate and knowledgeable in his field. His English isn't that great, but if you just watch him, you will learn so much. Gives good feedback, is extremely nice, lets you work at your own pace, and is an honest grader. Such an inspiration. Love this guy!

Professor Cong is a master at Printmaking, and ofcourse Chinese Ink Painting. This was my 2nd semester in his classes, and he's a great professor! Difficult to understand, but easygoing, however also hardworking. Fall 08 is his last semester before his sabbatical, so take him now if you can, or miss out until next fall!

Has a deep passion for being a student of art.intro to class is his story imparts that he has worked very hard to be the best he can and will push you to do your best. Thinks about $$ and how to save any student from spending it without reason. Hard work pays off and just put in the time&askhim
