Rey's Teachers

I have been asked many times who my teachers were. I've had many but if I had to make a list of the most influential teachers as far as art goes, they would all be from Art Center College of Design where I graduated from.
They are:

Burne Hogarth, at first crusty and loud,turned out to be a teddy bear with an amazing amount of knowledge and more amazing stamina. Our 9-4 class was exhausting but he kept going...and going...you get the idea. I taught the same class after his death and made it my own ,that's when I came up with my method of teaching through the ecorche' sculpture.

Vern Wilson. Great drawing teacher, patient and one of the kindest men that I have ever met.

Harry Carmean. The wonderous wizard of drawing. I felt a kinship with his drawing style...you may see evidence of the influence in my drawings.

Mark Strickland. Great intuitive draftsman and all from the heart. Great teacher

Lorrie Madden. Serious and intelligent, I learned so much about drawing from her,a great and dedicated teacher.

Richard Bunkall. He was such a sweet man and a great painter and teacher,he died much too young.

Dwight Harmon. He was so entertaining as a teacher,I really get a lot of my silliness from remembering that you can really be more effective when the students are laughing. He too died too young.
