Former FAS Student Checks In
FAS was founded in 1947, and so our community of graduates and former students is extensive. Frequently, we receive letters and calls from members of that community, bringing us up to date on their current activities and reflecting on the influence of Famous Artists School on their lives.
Just yesterday, we had an e-mail from a former student, Dann Jones. He wrote:
Just a note to say hello and to tell you that many years ago when I was in high school I took the FAS course. I still have and use the instruction books that came with it, and I still learn from it every time I open it up. Although I’m interested in all phases of art, my main thing is in drawing cartoon caricatures at art fairs and festivals. I’m now 61 and just recently have undergone open heart surgery. While in recovery I’m practicing my drawings. It’s great therapy and lots of fun. I will recommend FAS to anyone who is interested in the wonderful world of art.
Thanks, Dann, and good luck with your recovery!
