CURRICULUM VITAE/TEACHING

William Sapp's long teaching career began in 1965, when he was an art student teaching life drawing while obtaining his Bachelor of Science (Art Education, cum laude,1965) and Master of Arts Degree (Painting and Drawing) from the University of Missouri at Columbia (1967).

Sapp again taught life drawing at Washington University in St. Louis, while taking his Master of Fine Arts Degree in Sculpture/Multi-Media (1978). He taught painting, drawing, and sculpture at Adams State College in Alamosa, Colorado, and was drafted in the Vietnam Conflict in 1969, teaching Art History for the University of Maryland European Division in Heidelberg, Germany. He created the graduate and undergraduate programs in sculpture and three-dimensional design for the University of Arkansas at Little Rock, adding the Mid-South Sculpture Conferences and UALR Sculpture Park while teaching there. He has taught in other universities and art centers in the United States and abroad, and completed his career teaching portrait and figure sculpture at the University of Georgia's Lamar Dodd School of Art.

Sapp considers his 'legacy' at UGA the establishment of a cutting edge, tactile-digital modeling/carving studio in conjunction with his colleague, Larry Millard's stereo-lithographic prototyper. Sapp retired from the Lamar Dodd School of Art in 2005, after 40 years of teaching. His teaching appointments, in various capacities, have included:
