my message is simple, this man changed my life. he made a farm kid think in terms of chroma & value, in terms of how to communicate with graphics. his color classes are classic examples of structured color.

I am so out of touch, I had no idea .Dean Canzani had passed. I also took his color concept class. Of all the classes and all the homework assignments I would get during the typical week it was always his assignments I worked on the hardest. Like everyone else, the desire to have my work placed on the top shelf was paramount.

I, too, thank Jerry McDaniel for making it possible to have this tribute to Dean Canzani stay online permanently. I was saddened to hear of the untimely death of the Dean's son, Vincent. What a tragedy. I hope that father and son are now reunited.

I am truly BLESSED to have known Joseph Conzani. He gave me a chance to see myself as an artist and I even posed my face for him during one of his classes in 1965 which I have adorned on the wall of my home which I truly thank him for it.
Class of 1971.

This Candle if for Jerry McDaniel. His kindness has made it possible for past, present and future Artists to share their wonderful experience at CCAD. My father's legacy is not his own personal accomplishments, it's the success of the people in this book and countless others that passed through the doors at CCAD. He never asked for any personal recognition, his satisfaction came from the success of his students.
