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


 * Ryan,
 * I like your analysis of Huck and Frost; I'd like to see it expanded slightly with the addition of some good representative quotes from each, so the reader can more clearly see the textual/thematic similarities.

Yeah, i thought it was also a bit short, i'm planning on adding some more soon. -Ryan L.


 * Ryan,

I thoroughly enjoyed your Ekphrastic Case #446321. What can I say, I'm a sucker for "fake" scientific papers and fictional reports. Mmm, geology and biology. I congratulate you on choosing a unique sculpture as well. I don't think anyone else chose the diamond (but I could be wrong.)

I really enjoyed the flow of the story, however, there are times when the wording get a little strange. Example: "I’ve sent samples of the material along with soil samples so that we can have hope of making light of this strange situation." If I was writing this, I would have put an "a" between "have" and "hope." Also with the line: "According to local authorities the night in question was foggy and limited visibility due to the fog aided in the lack of witnesses of the aforementioned event." This sentence doesn't read right. I get confused after the "and." I understand what you are trying to say, and would recommend making this into two sentences so that it reads better. Finally, is "Shape" meant to be capitalized? That throws me off. But, other than those few minor word hitches, the piece flows smoothly along. The ending is perfect. The best stories (in my opinion) never fully resolve the all their questions. That is to say, just like living in real life, stories never truly end. It leaves the reader wondering just what did happen... and then they imagine all the different possibilities. CarrieBerg 02:36, 16 June 2009 (UTC)
