Who’s the best teacher you ever had? What made them your favorite?

In honor of National Teacher’s Day I’d like to acknowledge a teacher that is someone quite dear to me; Gus Sermas, Professor of Fine Arts at West Chester University, PA.

Not only did Gus inspire me to look at Art in new and amazing ways, but he taught me how to be a classically trained artist at the same time. He’s the funniest professor I’ve ever had as well. (coincidence? I think NOT!)

Gus…you are one in a million! Thank you from the bottom of my heart for helping cultivate my creativity and expanding my knowledge of painting, drawing, art history, technique, color theory, composition, everything!

I am what I am today because of your guidance and wisdom.

Ask me anything

  1. I’d like to acknowledge my favorite teacher, Dr. Edward Chalfant, who was a professor at Hofstra College (now University). I wrote this post about him “Just Write Something — a Tribute to Dr. Chalfant.” He influences me to this day. If you’d like to read it here is the link http://bit.ly/jD7TSS.
