Instructor Bio
Hi! I'm Kenney Mencher. I am a semi retired professor of Art and Art History from Ohlone College in Fremont. (Now I'm a full time artist and I teach part time at West Valley College in Saratoga California.) My lecture style is casual and clear. I don't believe in using a lot of jargon or overly complicated language. Here's the rest of the stuff you light like to know about me:
