One of the newest courses offered in the Fine Arts department is the Commercial Illustration class taught by Mr. john Boase. Mr. Boase ex- plained that a commercial art program was needed because of the increasing number of printers, publishers and new industries in our rapidly- developing area. A professional artist for eighteen years, Mr. Boase is well aware of the problems of both the Commerical Art- ist and the student. He stresses discip- line and hard work as well as talent, and makes no bones about the diffi- culty of the course: Most students want A's, he said, But they'll have to work like heck to get them. How well they do in the class depends on their ability and how much time they devote to it. And look at any current magazine - imagination is the big thing. ,VS There are eight students enrolled in the class, and the atmosphere is re- laxed and informal. A coffee pot sits in a corner, and the students sip coffee as they work. There is no real competi- tion in the class, and they work at their own pace. There are people who tend to un derestimate the Commercial Artist- Mr. Boase says, Anyone that is inter- ested in becoming an illustrator or a commercial artist must have a very strong drive. It's a demanding art form and requires disciplines that are fast disappearing from our society. Many 1 is relaxed and informal. . . ' . . The atmosphere of the class
