Taken all together these three class- ifications include approximately ninety stu- dents Working in some field of art. In the sophomore year the pupils spend most of their time learning fundamentals of drawing, shading, color theory, and design. The junior year is devoted mostly to the application of art principles to specific problems selected so that they will give reality and vitality to their work.
