ART 101 ART CLASS, AMANDA WESSELL, INSTRUCTOR Springfield High School offers on opporfunity of four years credit in Art to every student who desires it. There ore the regular first and second year courses of Art, besides the advanced course for third and fourth year students. These courses include drawing, designing, painting and perspective. The Art Appreciation course is a one-semester course which many Seniors and others who have not taken the regular Art courses often find valuable. This subject takes in a broader scope of art to include art in our personal appearance, homes, surroundings, and business. Many stu- dents have expressed the belief that this is a worth-while addition to our high school curriculum. ■ ' ' ' . Spreading out into a still broader field, the Art Department this year cooperated with the History Department in presenting a correla- tion course of Ancient and Medieval History and Art. This was possible as this history course deals mainly with the art and achievements of various peoples. The course is mode interesting with the use of a good reference book and lantern slides, and gives the students a vivid, realistic picture of Ancient times. Such a course con interest and educate students much more rapidly and efficiently than through textbooks alone. At the end of the first semester of this year, the Art Department also provided a source of special attraction to students in the form of the new bulletin board just outside room 208. This creation has served not only to exhibit the work done by the Art Department but has been o con- tribution to the beauty of S. H. S. [28]
