Manageable even if you're not artistically inclined
positive
- WorkloadLight
I had her for intersession last year. I'd say her workload is very manageable, especially for people who aren't very artistically inclined (like me 😅). I think the only assessment where we had to make art was a workshop (which wasn't a major assessment). Ma'am gave us some options to choose from, and our class decided on a basic pottery workshop. There were points for execution, of course, but also for effort and concept (we had to write about what our ideas for our piece were), so all in all, it was very manageable, even though I completely flubbed my piece. Ma'am didn't give us quizzes last year. The only assessments I remember were the workshop and the major assessments, which were more on art analysis. For the first (individual), we had to pick a piece from a specific exhibit in Arete and analyze it using the techniques taught in class. The second (group) was a zine (I can't really remember the details TT). The third (group) was a presentation on "public art" in Ateneo - we were asked to pick one example of public art in Ateneo, give the class a tour, then write down our analysis in a brochure. All in all, I'd say the deadlines Ma'am gave were very reasonable, and the level of analysis she wanted was very much achievable, even for people like me who aren't very familiar with art. As for teaching style, I'd say Ma'am is laidback in general; she's more than willing to compromise with the class on certain points of concern (ex. our dismissal time since we had a whole-day class). At the same time, she gives interesting readings and her discussions are informative. I'd also say her grading is fair. All in all, I'd say she's definitely A/B+ able with reasonable effort. Good luck,!more

Straightforward art analysis, open to consultations

had her last intersession! As someone who's not artistically inclined at all, I would say that Ma'am Dagmang's class is pretty manageable. The readings she gives are insightful and she explains them pretty well; I still use some of the things we discussed in other classes or in everyday life. The assessments were fairly straightforward as well and were mostly centered on art analysis. It's not extremely technical; so long as you apply the concepts taught in class and show your own personal insights as well, you'll be more than fine. Ma'am is also open to consultations and gives clear comments on your work when you do so. Generally, I'd say she communicates openly with the class and is pretty amenable to making adjustments when needed (which was pretty good for us because our class lasted the whole day XD). There was only one assessment where we had to make some form of art (for our class, it was a pottery workshop, though I think Ma'am is open to other suggestions), and Ma'am gave points for things like effort and concept, so you don't need to worry too much so long as you try your best (it was a minor assessment too). All in all, A/B+ able with reasonable effort. Good luck!more

I took Ma'am Dagmang for ArtAp 10 last intersession, and I'd say she's pretty good! Her discussions are clear, and her readings are interesting. Her assessments focus more on analyzing art using techniques you were taught in class, so they're doable even if you don't really have background in art. I'd say she grades fairly high so long as you can explain yourself well, and she sets reasonable deadlines for the class. She's also fairly easy to consult with. She's open to adjusting certain parts of the class based on student suggestions (ex. how we'd divide our time for the day, because we had the full-day class; or what kind of art we'd do for our workshop, etc.). The workshop was the only assessment where we had to make art of our own, and she gave points for the concept, so you can still do well even if you didn't execute very well (like me 😅). All in all, definitely A or B+ with reasonable effort! Good luck, OP!more

1. Read her readings since yung discussions doon magrerevolve. Like read it

1. Read her readings since yung discussions doon magrerevolve. Like read it with intention (wow) kasi minsan she will reference previous readings din kasi. 2. In doing art analysis, dapat may isa kang angle (wag paligoy-ligoy ng point) and support your claims using the art itself and basing from the readings 3. Discussions ni Ma’am Nathalie leans towards a mix of art and social issues so if your passionate about it then she’s the perfect prof for you (I suggest recite as much as you can) 4. She gives valuable comments pag dating sa outputs She’s A-able with effort. Also, she’s a teacher that is kind and knows her things well. kaya niyang palalimin yung discussion. With this, i dont suggest na maging petiks petiksmore

take her! she's chill and kind. classes can be boring sometimes (well, i took her during intersession so our classes were longer than the usual 1hr 30min classes). just make sure to do your readings and recite when you can during discussions! and put in effort into your major requirements. for our class, we had an activity that had to do with clay (like pottery). she graded us high as long as we put solid thought into the concept of our work. i had fun in her class and got an A in the end! i'd say A-able with moderate effort!more
