| Time Remembered |
I attended the Philadelphia Museum School, now the
University of the Arts, in the early 1950s graduating in 1956. We had very good teachers, and I still
remember the benefit from some of their suggestions and advice. Watercolor seemed an easy fit for me
although there were many efforts that fell far short. However, that’s what school is for; my learning continues on
even now.
To back up a bit, I should give credit to my Lower Merion
High school art teacher, William Bahmermann, who encouraged me early on.
Without his encouragement, It would not have occurred to me to try for art
school. Again, the teacher. How important they can be.
Philadelphia was, and still is, a very walkable city. Things seemed on a much smaller scale
back then. There were numerous
side streets rife with subject matter for our class outings. Manayunk, too, was another viable spot.
