Comments from Visiting Artists and Faculty

David Dunlap, Associate Professor of Art at the University of Iowa, said he was impressed by the deep respect that our students have for one another and for the world. He commented that in other schools most of the competition is at another’s expense, but that all of our students, even though clearly competitive, were helpful to one another. He observed they are open, curious and great learners. He credited the stable environment and the teaching at the university for their success.

"A frustrating problem for art students at other schools is stress, which cramps creativity and distorts life. Our students enjoy effortless, stress-free creativity. If an artist has a rich inner life, he will naturally create fulfilling art works. Therefore we develop the consciousness of our students — their ability to appreciate, create and enjoy the art of living." — Matthew Beaufort, Assistant Professor of Art

"On this campus there is a general air of pleasantness, of sweetness, helpfulness, caring, and lively interest. A sense of happiness and joy in learning pervades the classroom.”

“As I follow our students over four years, I find they become happier, more energetic and more integrated. All of these qualities enrich the process of making and appreciating art, and the ability to live a successful, happy life.” — Dale Divoky, Professor of Sculpture
