é ‘ ¢ ¢ 3 4 44 } A Banner Year for Art Students Trends in art come and go, leaving traces on the artistic output of the art students. Recent art trends have empha- sized the use of fabrics in creating works of art, and the textile projects conceived by our students have earned the school recognition beyond all other art forms. Banners ... all sizes, shapes, and colors ... banners made by individuals or as group projects ... Our exciting banners found their way, upon request, to the Governors mansion and to a juried show commemorating March as the Na- tional Youth Art Month at the First and Merchants Art Center. The evaluation team was greeted by a WELCOME TO CLOVER HILL banner at the entrance and Mr. Gibson’s personal interest in aviation was depicted in another banner decorating his office. The Chesterfield Schools Administration requested one of our original creations for their per- manent art collection and a banner with an Egyptian theme now serves’ as a backdrop for the reception desk. Banners were highlighted at the first County-wide Festival of the Arts with a banner from each of the 35 county schools on display in the commons at Salem Junior High School. This array had such impact on the viewers that the F. M. Center requested a show of the ban- ners during the month of May. Under the theme “Experience the Arts in Edu- cation”, the Festival of the Arts provided a fitting showcase for all aspects of the performing, industrial, vocational and fine arts. Art 27
