Bru hin' up o creative storm ,,,,.,,,...-4-v Y I 5 Q-an ' Mya The Parkview I-'igh School art department works to promote student visual awareness, said art teacher Jim Cook. Teachers were in art classes only to guideg students were urged to think originally and to develop their ideas creatively. To most, art was an expressive outlet. Sophomore, Alva Dowdie said, Art isn't something I really work at, it's just something I really like to do. Most Parkview students didn't realize the possibilities of the dif- ferent types of art classes offered at Parkview. Basic art was a beginner course open to all students. Poster design, a course offered to juniors and seniors, was a commercial art course. Arts and crafts was a very popular course. Open only to seniors, in this class students made pottery, mac- rame and jewelry. The art department was especially proud of its achievements in art fairs, shows and contests. Every year, we wipe the other competitors com- pletely out, said Miss Brenda Tur- ner. Competitions in the spring give students something to work for all year. During an art show before Christmas, senior Jeff Davis stole the show taking four awards for his found art object. The sculpture, made of wood, bolts, washers, wires and old tennis shoes composed the winning sculpture entitled Average Kid on the Block. Dedlcatlon. Intent on doing it right, senior Alvin Pittman finds that worklng with watercolors takes patience and concentration. PV blgfoot.

The club was under the leadership of the sponsor, Miss Erica Barber. Irina Malakian, a Lebanese and president of the Language Club said, I wouldn't have charged anything to be a member ofthe club, for I think that people should have fun without it costing them anything, but an old member set the dues at SZ. Language Culture Club had three parties this year. The first one was a get acquainted party and 15 out of 20 members attended. Second, the club had a garden party and sent invitations to the Spanish Club. Third, they had a Christmas party. A few members participated in the play Biuebird ' at the Arkansas Arts Center during the month of December. They also participated in language fairs. At the Fayetteville Tourney, students presented an orig- inal play in the language they were studying. The play was a version of Hercule de Bergerac adopted by John Koehler, Parkviewjunior. Language Culture Club also sold T-shirts that said, C' est La Vie. French for This is Life.
