Students at AHS Creatively Show Their Art students were enlightened in the areas of study such as perspective, painting, pottery and other various units involving the subject of art. To many of the students, art was a unique, emotional outlet in which they could express themselves freely. Over 130 students were enrolled in either Freshmen Art, General Art, Advanced Art I, or Advanced Art II, with most of them being in the freshmen and general art classes. Reflecting on his various art classes, Mr. Larry Mannlein, instructor, said, There were more students in my classes this year than I have had in any other year I have taught here. I like to see the talent that students walk in with every year, especially the new students, and I like to make them aware of it so that they may continue working on that talent. The things that I like to teach the most are projects that bring out the creative qualities of students, but then I also like to work with drawing assignments, not only because it is fun, but because it is a fundamental of art as well.” Mr. Mannlein also likes to paint and make pottery in his spare time. Art has affected the attitudes of many students at AHS. Some of the things they did were challenging, some were very basic, but art was one of the classes that provided students with the opportunity to be the most creative and expressive.
