FI EARTS CRAFT-CREATI ITY Brandywine's first lone class in music appreciation studied all kinds of music, from 'clonghairv to uelectronicf' They explored the elementary work of building chords and pro- gressed to the actual writing of band scores. Music came alive as the class studied the opera Carmen, and then saw it performed in Philadelphia. The future artists and sculptors of Brandywine dipped their fingers into the muddy messes which accompanied clay modeling and painting in oils. The purpose of this Art course was to give students a good background in art and a chance to use their creative talents. Art students' progress was seen by all who paused to marvel at the numerous paintings exhibited in the lobby, cafeteria, and art gallery throughout the year. To help develop appreciation for great art, trips were planned to various exhibits and galleries. All students were eligible for a trip to the Delaware Art Center, and seniors toured galleries in Washington, D. C. and in New York. MR. GALEN S.
