| Transcript | "Learning is something done by the individual; you can only help him risk the involvement ... Sometimes I feel students are asleep or holding hands, but I turn the first slide and it doesn't matter on anymore. Then if a student finds it worthwhile to learn more, I've done my job.'' Art Connoisseur "The teaching profession is one of the luxuries of a society—you are paid to be a mind at work ... to spend the greater part of life trying to help others to see . . . you must make them 'smell' the atmosphere in which a work of art was born . . . you must shape senses, make intelligent eyes . . . man gives himself away in art and from it we can gain what man is. One of those rare people whose love of learning affects all around him, the present Art Department Chairman Peter Guenther came from Germany 12 years ago, admittedly looking for an eight to five job instead of teaching. "However," says Guenther modestly, "you can't kill your mind." Coming to UH five years ago, Guenther began the Art Department's first art history course—his survey course is now one of the most popular elec- tives on campus. Undoubtedly it is the Art Historian's outlook on knowledge and learning that commands students' respect. "If you get through the course and don't change, you have lost. Be willing to change—the impact of art on the screen should make an impact on your life." Guenther never hesitates to state his opinion in class. "I must give the students my opinion so they will have something with which to compare theirs." 129 |
