| Introduction | By the time I had completed my BA 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 Mycene. The trip started in Crete and moved on to Greece with its many museums. We took the night cruise to Italy 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. |
