aried skills taught in art he art classes taught many dif- ferent skills. Drawing 1 and II were taught by Miss Jean Detlefsen. Drawing I was an introduction to drawing exer- cises and techniques. Drawing II was a continuation of the investigation of drawing materials and techniques gain- ed from the Drawing I class. Other classes taught by Detlefsen included Lettering, Commercial Art, Painting I and II and Advanced Art. Lettering was the study of styles, methods and techniques of lettering. Old English, Roman, Gothic and script styles were studied. Commercial Art introduced the stu- dents to art related careers as well as the materials and techniques used by com- mercial artists. Painting I students learned differ- ent methods of painting using water- colors, acrylics and oils. Painting II stu- dents used the techniques and materials introduced in Painting I to develop painting skills. Advanced Art was offered to only juniors and seniors who were interested in art related careers and showed out- standing ability in the arts. There were two other teachers in- volved in teaching the art classes. They were Mrs. Leoda Davis and Miss Ruth Schlobohm. Mrs. Davis taught Printmaking and Sculpture I. The Fibers I classes was the study of experimenting with types of fibers and making them into various designs. The areas of weaving, batik, soft sculpture and stitchery were studied. Fibers II was the continuation of Fibers I in a more ad- vanced manner. Other classes taught by both Davis and Schlobohm were Pottery Ceramics I and Pottery Ceramics II.
