Elementary students are required to take two semesters of Art in Elementary Schools and may elect Problems in Elementary School Ail or Special Class Arts and Crafts.

Through this medium students are exposed a little more to the finer things of life. Miss Jane Reinhard of the department was selected by College of the Air.
