"I do remember (the art tours with Mr. D) always being an amazing time. You provided all the students an amazing knowledge to Art, and showed us all the true meaning of it. I always said you made a huge impact on my high school days. There was never a field trip that I did not have an amazing time on." - former art student

"I liked going to Detroit and traveling around the city, because one of the stops we made, in that one alley, I actually watched the artist do part of the painting, the zentangle one that was turquoise... I got to watch the artist... lay the tape down and spray the paint and strip the tape on the wall in various spots, so I was excited to see it finished... it shows how connected art is with real life."  - former art student

"(I) also loved the couple of times we went to detroit to see third man records, the Heidelberg project, the big murals on buildings and shinola and for all of those trips, i loved seeing how creativity and art manifested itself in different ways for different artists. especially in those cities, i learned so much about the history of detroit throughout my life, and then getting to see all of the great art was really great. i think about those trips to detroit often when im on my way to class downtown... those trips (and your classes) were so inspiring to me and shaped me into the artist i am now!"  - former art student
