Ken's teaching style:
He presents a conceptualization of the problems that arise in painting and guides students to solve them according to the levels they are working at. He encourages students to break down the visual world into colored tones and coordinate these tones in terms of values, hues, and edges.
Ken loves EAC because . . .
He enjoys the unique experience of having students in his classes for several years and watching their development. The sense of community at the art center comes from the many returning students who form lasting friendships.
