Mr. Alfred Hyslop, Head of Department Mr. Raymond Jacobson, Mr. Dean Warnholta Mr Harry Buckle , . , Y. 18 RT Confronting one as he steps into the lower regions of lioliou for the hrst time is a confusing mass of machines and foreign equipment. How- ever upon one's return for the second and ensuing times these machines and equipment become fam. iliar implements from which tangible work from onels own hands is realized, but more than that, a great amount of intangible enjoyment and satis- faction is derived. The creation of a wooden bowl, a Chirstmas card, or a picture for your room may he transformed from the raw materials to the hnished product in a visit or two to the workshop with the use of the lathe, silk-screen, and other implements. One visit is certain to inspire another. Under the supewision of Mr. Jacobson and Mr. Warnholtz of the Art Department this extra cur- ricular experience is encouraged and available to all students in the afternoon 1-5 Tuesday through Saturday and Tuesday and Wednesday nights from 7-IO. The Art Department, believing that art is an experience which everyone should have, not only offers the art workshop sponsored by Co-op, but also monthly exhibits are held in the lobby of Boliou, usually accompanied by a gallery talk. These range from Scandinavian architecture to products of the department itself and are enjoyed by the student of art and the layman alike. Upon entering Boliou one finds himself drawn to the maze of prints which catch his eye and hold it. The inquisitive mind studies the content and wonders, marvels, and is driven by a still inquisi- tive mind to view another and another. The in- quisitive mind enjoys the exhibit-another aspect of the Art Department. The theoretical aspect of art is embodied in the course Art Historyg the study of classical and contemporary art. To these students in the darkn the slide projector is a familiar object. The creative aspect of art is found in the drawing classes. In these laboratory periods still-life drawing, the study of the human figure, and the elements of perspective are taken up. The appli- cation of learned instruction is a challenge to all aspirants of the drawing art. To master the line Of a gourd or bottle, the subtle motion of a p0SCd form, or the accurate perspective of the building you view supplies this challenge. Each aspect of the Art Department - whether an enrolled course, an exhibit, or the workshop - compliments the others and provides an exper- ience that everyone should have. A student of aft never ceases to leam.
