drawings, watercolors and oil paintingsreflects Gottesthal’s experiences inEurope and the United States.

Born Hilmar Udo Fister in Carinthia,Austria, the artist began to sign hisworks with “Gottesthal,” the name ofhis childhood village, while studying atthe Vienna Academy of Fine Arts. Theword means ”God’s Valley.” Now anAmerican citizen, he lives in Flintstone,Md.

Gottesthal’s interest in Byzantine artand an Austrian-Turkish CulturalExchange Grant took him to Greece andTurkey, where he spent 30 years paint-ing, sculpting and studying ancientruins, myths and religious icons of theregion. His style often reflects a Byzan-tine influence, with its use of mosaic-like patterns and complex pointillismoften used to express spiritual ideas.Many of his works are inspired bymythology, Christian scriptures, currentissues and the surroundings of hisWestern Maryland home.

FSU’s College of Education got goodnews from the visitation team from theNational Council for Accreditation ofTeacher Education. The team, a combi-nation of national and state reviewers,was on campus from Oct. 20 to 24.

At the conclusion of their visit in ameeting with FSU officials, the teamreported favorably on its meetings withpeople on campus and its review of FSU’seducation programs, according toCollege of Education Dean SusanArisman.

The NCATE Unit Accreditation Boardmeets in the spring, and FSU shouldhear about accreditation soon after-wards.

This is an important step for FSUsince NCATE accreditation is nowrequired by the state of Maryland formost institutions that offer teachereducation.

The NCATE team visit was the culmi-nation of nearly three years of effort.Individual subject areas first had tomeet standards set by national associa-tions designated by NCATE. FSU hasbeen recognized by the national associa-tions for secondary math, early child-hood education, reading, master’s leveladministration and supervision, second-ary English, secondary social studies,physical education, all four disciplinesoffered in secondary science – physics,biology, chemistry and earth science –and elementary education. The onlyapproval that is pending is for thehealth component of the health andphysical education program, and ananswer is expected from that groupsoon.
