Millersville became the first University in the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education to sign on.
@theartofrobertmcfetridge is 2000 art alum and former Maruader football player who now spends his days teaching and creating his signature, photo-realistic art – typically starring athletes, including a number of NFL players. We chatted with him to learn more about his work, his time at MU and who he’s rooting for this Sunday. <br /> <br /> 1. When did you start drawing athletes?<br /> <br /> As early as five years old. My dad, who was an artist, would sit my brothers and I down to draw in the evening. I always wanted to draw people. As I got older and started playing football, I began drawing images of athletes from Sports Illustrated magazines and football cards that my brother and I collected. Since then, I've been obsessed with photo-realism and trying to perfect my craft. <br /> <br /> 2. Who are you rooting for in the Super Bowl?<br /> <br /> Honestly, since I'm a Raiders fan, I don't have a dog in the fight. I just want to see a competitive game. But if I had to pick one, I'll take the Patriots<br /> <br /> <br /> 3. Was there a professor who inspired you?<br /> <br /> The art faculty at MU when I was there were great! I couldn't pick one professor that inspired me more than any other because I gained valuable knowledge and skills from multiple art professors that I still use today in my teaching and my own practice. <br /> <br /> 4. What’s the best part of teaching art?<br /> <br /> The satisfaction I get when my students achieve awards for their art, get accepted to colleges, or get hired for jobs they're seeking after school. I know that I play a role, albeit a small one, in shaping these students as artists and adults. I'm blessed to teach AP Art and Design at William Allen High school, where I have the privilege of working with the best students.<br /> <br /> Who are you cheering for this Sunday?
