It originated through the new ed- ucation standards which require a half credit of fine art. Counselor Bernadine Bryant said that the class is for students who are not artistically inclined. The require- ments say that students have to have a half credit of art. This class is for peo- ple who can't carry a tine in a bucket or play an instrument but still need that half credit.
