Well, students in the new art history class got their first taste of prehistoric arts, as they painted by Candlelight, and drawing signals instead of talking. Even he paint they used was homemade, from animal fat, dirt, and ber- ries. Another project they completed was ‘‘stained- glass” windows. Although they were not real glass, had about the same affect. They were designed by cutting holes in black con- struction paper, and filling them in with multi-colored tissue paper. Students said that, even though it was time consuming, the end product made it worth while. Even though it is an art Class, art history is more Closely related to a history course. Through various films, slide shows, and reading textbooks, stu- dents learned about Ro- man, Greek, and the Middle Ages in art and artists. However, since most stu- dents don’t have muc h background in world his- tory, they are taking longer to learn the material, and art history is only a semes- ter course. Art instructor Beverly Putnam com- mented that she would like to try the course out for a year next year.
