As a sketcher, videographer, photographer, musician, arts writer and long-time teacher, I am delighted to lead a fine arts survey class. I hereby dedicate the class to participation, to light-hearted enjoyment of the arts and to academic excellence in writing and arts-minded projects.

My life is one immersed in the arts, from daily reading of sources like the NY Times art section, Artsjournal.com and NPR.org to writing about local drama, concerts and dance.

The reason I opened with a reference to sculptor Clyde Connell is because I am partnering with my wife, Talbot, in curating a major exhibit of Connell's work. The show will open Fri, Sept 19, at Artspace Shreveport.

This blog will be my principal link to students and parents in regards assignments and class notes. It will be updated daily. And I expect you to read my posts. Once a week there will be a simple quiz based on the notes herein.
