Future Rembrants Art classes consisted of learning techniques and improving old ones. Mrs. Brown gave the juniors in- sight to the way things should be done, while the seniors worked on projects of their own. Students were free to express themselves in their own way and Mrs. Brown was always willing to answer the questions and give students her attention. Medias included painting with water color, tempera and acrylics, drawing with pencil, ink and charcoal, working with chalk and pastels. Some tried their hand at sculpturing and others worked with stitch and macrame. One of the final highlights was a visit of both junior and senior art classes to the Phi Theta Kappa McCook Community College Third Annual Art Show. 20
