Welcome to Art Appreciation from Herkimer College.

I have taught at the college level for over 35 years. I teach courses like painting, drawing, ceramics; and lecture courses like art appreciation and art history. In addition I have taught photography for over 35 years.

I have been doing art my whole life. Most of us liked to make things when we were kids, but stop when we become adults. Artists never stop. In this course we will study all the things that artists create so that our world is a more beautiful, interesting; and meaningful place.

I wish you all good luck in the class, and I know that you will find the course challenging.

Sincerely,

James Bruce Schwabach

Emeritus Associate Professor of Art
