Norm Schureman with a camel.

Earlier this afternoon, I received an email from a friend and fellow ACCD alum sharing that last night, an Art Center instructor, Norm Schureman, was killed at a party in Westlake Village because of an argument gone wrong. I was heartbroken by the news. Although the only “class” I had with Norm was a workshop I took second term, I never stopped learning from him.

Norm was everywhere in Art Center. I’d open a door, and on the boards would be filled with beautiful illustrations from the VisCom class earlier in the day. My favorite medium was chalkboard. It was magic. The different colors of chalk, the center lines, the indication of reflective surface, the chalk dust. I loved the clean straight lines followed by a dot. I loved that he took his students to the zoo to draw animals and Travel Town to draw trains. I loved the times my friends and I would laugh and catch each other drawing lines “Norm style” which was “pinkie out”.

Norm’s legacy lives on in all of us. I’m not the best VisCom artist out there, but his influence was more than I realized at my time at Art Center. It is a shame that the future generations of Art Center students will never know the brilliance of such a great instructor. My heart and condolences go out to the Schureman family. It is a tragic loss, and he will be missed.
