The Art faculty consists of eight teachers of wide and varied experience in both edu- cation and fine arts. Housing in the main floor of the Arts Building with up-to-date equipment lends an atmosphere conducive to fine work. An art-structure method of creative expression emphasizes development and thinking rather than skills.
