Art Department Urges Creativit Purpose of the Art department at Ashtabula High School was to encourage creative thinking and indi- viduality, and to develop confidence in the student through self-expression. To maintain this goal students were taught the ap- preciation of form, line, design and color. For example, the teacher would set up a scene and a student was assigned to draw or paint it in his own way. Drawings of student models and still lifes were done in pencil, pen and ink, charcoal and oil crayons. Stu- dents in study hall volunteered to model for these ses- sions. is Painting was done with pastels, V' 'tl' . . . s f' ' water colors, and oils on imagi- H V.,' A - nary compositions. - Hi hli hts of the school ear f :., tt : ., ..,.
