My Mom was an accomplished artist whose social circles included many from the artistic world. I had entertained many thoughts of art as a career. But after taking your course (which I greatly enjoyed), I realized that art would not be appropriate for me to do as a living. I would have been very unhappy had you not assisted me in coming to that realization. What your course left me with was an understanding of and an appreciation for the role of an artist. This came in handy with some of my job situations, including those of production management in a printing plant. And in my law practice I was able to relate to my artistically-inclined clients. Rest in Peace; you taught me well!
