One encounters many educators in a lifetime, but the opportunity to study under a truly great teacher can be a rarity. Moving from a very large Columbus school to a small rural one(by my standards) in 1969, I was most fortunate to be impacted by three exceptional instructors: David Nungesser, Elaine Redmond and Rosanna Moore.
Miss Moore TAUGHT art. Her class was not to be regarded as a step up from study hall. She painstakingly created a new bulletin board every Monday morning discussing an artist, a style or a movement. It was no where to be seen on Friday, but a 5 question quiz regarding the display opened the class every Friday. She also gave midterms and final exams. I never expected to experience the myriad of different art techniques she exposed her students to: painting, sculpting in wire, clay and plaster, enamel work, block prints and lithographs and of course wood carving. She taught responsibility (her advanced students could focus on working in media they were most interested in, but they were required to file a study plan for each 6 week grading period) and her classes were a sanctuary for creative expression in a peaceful environment. She recognized when a student was particularly excited about a project and encouraged appropriately. I know she was instrumental in my being selected as the "art editor" my junior year for our yearbook which opened the door for "editor in chief" my senior year.
During my junior year (the most trying of my four high school years) I was taking senior advanced math, chemistry AND physiology as well as all the other required courses. Art was my joy in the day. It was a busy year with cheerleading and several other clubs and activities. It was also my first year with Elaine Redmond. I remember her handing back our first homework assignment as we filed out of class. She scowled at me and said," You know Laurinda, I am very disappointed in your work on this. Rosanna told me to expect great things from you." I was mortified that I had let Miss Moore down--and it was an excellent way to remind me that studies were first and foremost important in my so-called busy teenaged life. I made sure never to disappoint either of them again.
I struggled with one art assignment that involved creating a sculpture with wire. Always horse crazy, much of my work had equine influence. I was trying to develop a rearing horse and couldn't get the two transposing wires for the head to stay in position. Sensing my frustration, Miss Moore gently suggested using a tiny bit of screen wire to secure the two pieces. Success! Even more so, when she submitted it to a professional art magazine featuring student works and my professionally photographed work appeared in the article!
We stayed in touch after graduation in 1973 and Miss Moore became Rosanna to me. I visited her occasionally and loved to see her latest carving or sculptures in progress. I tried to make it to her art shows as much to visit as to see her work. "Less is more" is an artist's phrase she taught that has always stayed with me. I was thrilled when she visited my home and I could show her my stained glass work and my paintings. Her Christmas cards and personal notes have always been a seasonal highlight with a photograph of one of her sculptures and her nephew Fred's poetry. I loved to hear that she was still traveling around the country and getting some camping in. I was so happy to be able to celebrate her 80th birthday with her. She has taught me to seek perfection in anything and everything I do--a dear friend and an outstanding educator who will be sadly missed, but whose legacy will live on in those whose lives she so graciously touched.

I am SO HAPPY that, after 42 years, I tracked Rosanna Moore down 2 years ago when I was back in Ohio for my mini-reunion. She was my high school art teacher. Big surprise for her, me knocking at her door! She was still in that cool house on a beautiful, woodsy, back road near Granville. What a wonderful life she and Elaine had to have had in that place, harvesting maple sugar, etc.. Most of all, I am so grateful for the chance to tell her what an incredible art teacher she was back in school. I told her that, of all my college art profs from OU to College of Santa Fe, she was the best and most influential on whatever talent (I hope) I have. And it's true! I wouldn't be a professional artist if it wasn't for her- 40-45 years ago. She showed me her lovely carvings and photography over the years and I gave her my Website which she wrote back about with true happiness for me.
My condolences to Rosanna's family but you can truly live with the memory of a fantastic person.

Rosanna was a great volunteer and friend of those of us who worked for the Licking Park District. She was always energetic, full of enthusiasm and loved to teach. She was a wonderful person and will be greatly missed.

Rosanna will always be remembered as an inspiration to many of her students; I worked with her at Southwest Licking and always was anxious to see what new creation she was pursuing whether it be in the classroom or at home. We also enjoyed our camping experiences at Mohican. Always cherish the memories and may God be with the family.

Everybody has someone in their life who inspired them and made a difference. Rosanna Moore, my high school art teacher, was mine. She inspired and encouraged me, giving me confidence in my abilities. Even many years after graduation, we continued to visit and talk, and she kept listening and encouraging. She left this world yesterday after a long and full life, and I will miss her. Just as I always ended my phone conversations … Rosanna, I love you very much.
