Feehan artists’ work exhibited Wire sculpted owls, charcoal sketches of teapots, sharp pencils, and a new enamelling kiln collaged Feehan’s art and mechanical draw- ing classes. Uner the direction of Sister Veronica Fay, students learned basic color and design in the Art | classes, and then gradu- ated from one dimension to two and three dimensions in Art Il. Art Ill students learned more ad- vanced techniques of communica- tion in Artbatik, macrame, and ce- ramics.
