- Description
- The image presents an open notebook with two pages filled with handwritten text. The pages are cream-colored and appear slightly textured, with a natural edge on the left side of the left page. The handwriting is in blue ink, slanting slightly to the right, and written in cursive. Notable features include text arranged in lines, some words heavily struck through, and a section numbering on the left page. The text density is moderate, with slight variations in ink intensity and line spacing giving an organic appearance. A red thread is visible at the center where the pages meet, hinting at the notebook's binding.

drawing and design classes, and I loved them for their enthusiasm, youth and presentations of the art at the time. At that time I thought they were brilliant!
How did training at UNL prep me for my career? a) My professors communicated belief in me + that went a long way in instilling confidence. b) Through work study jobs, I had the opportunity to work at Sheldon Art Gallery under the leadership of Norman Geske and Jim Nelson. Norman, John, and the Sheldon family
provided a golden time for art, beauty, and culture. I am forever indebted to them for guidance they provided simply by example. Powerful friendships grew from my time at UNL with fellow art students. To this day, I love these friends, admire their work + look to them for guidance.
gave my earnest yearnings to make a living on this world. UNL's time encouraged + did not snap my hopes. One thing I would love to see for all Fine Arts Majors is an integration with classes on business. - Rights
