About Me
I found that art grows on one given enough time to enjoy it and puzzle about why people made things and added beauty to basic tools of life. In order to get here I have studied a lot about art. I got my first degree from the University of Wisconsin in ceramics. By the time I had completed that degree I was a professional potter and weaver. I set up the ceramic department for The Madison Art Center and started the Madison Potters Guild and studio. My Masters in Fine Arts came from the University of Hawaii, as did my Masters in Art Education. I designed my master’s thesis so that I could see a lot of Europe. My thesis research required that I teach in the great museums of Europe. I accomplished this by leading 15 students through Europe. We studied Art 101 in front of the actual pieces, standing on the Acropolis in Athens, Knossos, and Mycenae. The trip started in Crete and moved on to Greece with its many museums. We took the night cruise to Brendisi and started our Italian journey at Pompeii where we experienced an Italian villa and its fabulous wall paintings. Seeing this in place instead as a partial painting on the wall of a museum was compelling. We had time to explore Rome for three days before heading on to other great places in Italy, France, The Netherlands, Germany and Austria. My final degree was a doctorate in psychology and education from The Fielding Institute. The Fielding Institute 2007 recognized me as a Research Fellow in Creative Longevity and Wisdom. I am now creating a website which provided an education in the history of art around the world one micro lesson at a time. Check out ahaafoundation.org So much has changed since then in the way information is presented to us. We have the Web/Internet to use. I started the Applied History of Art and Architecture Educational Foundation as a way to organize the huge collection of images. These images are scattered about the web in a way that is difficult use. Many people have organized some of them in a variety of ways. This work is meant to be a course in the history of art as well as a place that teachers can send their students to study one bit of art or another.

    What a great project you are working on. I try to use as much art as possible, especially in my Ancient History and Foundations of European History courses. My favorite History class was History Through Art.
