Emphasis on developing interest in art was the idea the art teachers, Mr. Jack Frost and Miss Mary DuBois, strove for this past year. With the help of Mr. Nelson Dungan, a student teacher from Southern Colorado State College, the students were presented with demonstrations of new ideas for design from new and old media. During large groups an array of films and slides were shown and a variety of guest speakers expressed their ideas of art. Among the guest speakers were Mr. Lamar Kelsey, an architect, who showed art as related to our environment, Mr. Bill Amen, known for his humor as well as his art, and Mr. Edward M. Hailey, Art Exhibit Sponsor for the Colorado State Penitentiary, who along with two inmates discussed the importance of art as part of the prison rehabilitation program. Examples of art from the Colorado State Penitentiary were displayed in the library for several weeks. Throughout the year, four art shows also attracted interest to the art program. Two shows of particular in- terest were the open art display during Emphasis Week and the spoof art show in which junk', was treated as art in order to get reactions from spectators. Also during the past year a great amount of indepen- dent work was done. The art room was headquarters for for several student-sponsored magazines such as the Romper Room Gazette, Sun, Pomegranate, and 'LFriction. Some students dipped their creativity into iilm making and presented their completed work to the other students.
