Craig Hood has been teaching painting and drawing at the University of New Hampshire for thirty-six years. He is a professor of studio art and chair of the Department of Art and Art History. Dan Faiella asked Professor Hood to mentor him for his Research Experience and Apprenticeship Program (REAP) project, and working with Dan reinforced many of the things Professor Hood has learned about working on landscape painting over the years. Of Dan's decision to write for Inquiry, he notes that “in the visual arts, any experience with writing is valuable and makes a student more prepared professionally.”
