Unified Arts Students Look to Future chool would have been very boring for students without unified arts. Classes such as art, music, drafting, shop, sewing and cooking added spice to the year. Seventh graders had one semester of both music, in which they put on a play for students, and art where they learned basic art skills and made different projects. Eighth graders had a variety of classes. Each quarter held something new. In one quarter they had drafting, where they learned how to draw blueprints, and the other half of the quarter was shop where they made such projects as shelves, key chains, pencil holders and picture frames. ill really learned a lot from shop and really had fun, stated eighth grader Doug Steinman. Another quarter was split between cooking and sew- ing. In cooking, eighth graders learned the basics of cooking. ln sewing, students learned how to sew and had a project due such as a shirt, apron, or sweatpants. Also, one quarter was devoted to both music and art. Freshmen students got a choice of what they wanted for unified arts. If they chose shop and drafting much harder projects were taught such as robotics in shop or silkscreening in drafting. I enjoy Industrial Art because it's preparing me for my future career, said freshman lason Hurley. lf cooking was chosen much more advanced cooking was taught, like yeast breads and layered cakes. In sewing, more complicated clothing was made. lason Grey said, ill enjoyed cooking because it prepared me for my future when I'm on my own. Unified arts benefits all students. First, it makes school more enjoyable because you get a variety of classes. Second, the time spent on these classes will help students in their later life.
