He also taught at the School of Visual Arts (SVA) in New York City (1975–1985). Goslin was educated at the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD) graduating in 1954. For most of his career, he worked as a one-person studio out of his home in Park Slope, Brooklyn, favoring independence over "filtering my work through another artist."〔StoryCorps Interview, November 26, 2005: audio recording at (soundcloud.com )〕 He was also a popular professor known for his candid criticism and unique assignments. His clients included IBM, Price Waterhouse, Pfizer Inc., Merck & Co., and Harper & Row. His work has been published in Graphis, Idea, Print, CA Art Direction, Step-by-Step, and Dictionary of Graphic Images. He has won numerous awards and recognition from the Society of Illustrators, AIGA and Art Directors Club. He was also awarded the Distinguished Teacher Award 2003–04 at Pratt Institute. His work is in the collections of several museums.〔pratt.edu〕 ==Early life and education== Goslin was born on February 23, 1932 in Attleboro, Massachusetts to Florence Pauline Guyot and Herbert Hyland Goslin. He is a descendant of Numa Guyot, a Swiss master engraver.〔(guyotbros.com )〕 Growing up, Goslin was interested in ministry and law, particularly as a defense attorney ("Clarence Darrow was a great hero of mine.") He was also interested in "calling Boston Braves baseball games." However, his main focus was in art and drawing which led him to RISD.〔 While at RISD, Goslin notes instructor James Pfeufer as an important influence. "Jim critiqued design projects with the utmost respect. He taught me how to value graphic design."〔Santoro, Scott. "Charles Goslin" (worksight.com )〕 After graduating with a BFA in 1954, Goslin declined a scholarship to Yale Graduate School. ("Great university. Lousy art school.") At the time, he was eligible for mandatory military service but was excused.〔 Goslin was married in 1955 to Caroline Millicent Rider for ten years. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Charles Goslin」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
