AHS Art Dept. Abounds with Students and Talent The Art Department, under the direction of Mr. Larry Mannlein had another very successful year. Higher learning, art appreciation, and self-expression were all stressed through all the phases of the students’ year. The freshmen were taught the importance of basic shapes and the color wheel. The sophomores brushed up on the concepts, along with studying art history, self-expression, and starting drawings, paintings, and pottery. The juniors and seniors further developed their skills with these media, with the seniors going on to oil painting, clay head sculpturing, and independent study. Mitch Muzzey forms a coil pot in his second period class. Kelly Broers works on a coil pot of her own design. Jon Briggs completes a step in metal casting. Mr. Mannlein gives Dan Frazier some ideas for an interesting design for one of his projects.
