Art Brandenburg

Mr. Brandenburg opened my eyes to so many types of artwork I likely wouldn´t have discovered on my own. He was funny, encouraging, generous, playful. He created Art Service Studio - the in-house "ad agency" for American High, and invited me to join with other students he´d selected to create posters and other materials to promote school plays and other events. He taught us how to silkscreen, how to use big grocery store style lettering, paint glass window murals and more. I spent the majority...

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

Art was my High School Art Teacher in Fremont California at American in1972. I was a shy kid with low self esteem. He made me feel talented and special. I went on to be a custom jewelry designer working in platinum and gold. He was a wonderful mentor. I will always remember him and be forever great full for his kindness and his beautiful smile.

He was my favorite art teacher. Kind, funny and caring, I don’t remember him ever having a problem in class with a student. I started doing art again during this shelter in place time and only wished I had thought of searching for him sooner.

Class of 1978

Oh what can I say? Art was a wonderful man and teacher. He was for sure the most creative person I have ever known. His students were very blessed to have him as their instructor. God Bless you Arthur.

Art was always upbeat. He was creative and he had a marvelous sense of humor. He enjoyed his teaching career and enjoyed his students. I have very fond memories him. God Bless your soul my friend.
