Hello Former Student!

I'm writing to you because you took a class from me in the past few years at the Art Institute. As of Spring, 2010, I'll not be teaching further classes at AIS for the foreseeable future. (We're parting ways on good terms!) Until now, you've been able to reach my Wikiversity educational resources from my website, but I've decided to delete that link. You can still reach all of those materials here.

If you're interested in what I'm up to in the future (which will include an album in 2010 and a novel in 2011) you can friend my facebook page or drop me an email at info@stevenarntson.info and you'll receive a periodic update about performances, classes, and publications.

If you know any current or former students of mine who might be interested in any of this, please forward this information if you have a moment.

I hope all is well for you. Best! Stevenarntson

Personal Essay Draft
This is looking pretty good right now. I like your solutions, but would like to see:
 * Enlarge upon them a little bit and add some detail to the ideas, especially the notion of required civic service for all Americans.
 * Add a few more personal solutions, in terms of "What can an average person do on an average day?" One of those things, perhaps the best one of all, is simply to have some compassion, and to defend maligned populations when other people start piping up about generalities.

Also, give a good proofread to the paper and make sure that when you say "memorize" you don't mean "mesmerize," etc.


 * Best, Stevenarntson
