Mrs. Espenes ' art students began the course learning about color. By using color wheels, they discovered how blue, yellow , and red could be used to torm an entire new spectrum of color. The students went on to practice pencil drawings. Some sketches were displayed in the hall by the Home Eg room. When the class worked on water color and oil paint- ing the fun started. Spirited arguments about how loud to play the radio, along with daily gossip sessions, were highlights of the class. All this took place while the students perfected their masterpieces. Dwayne Austin and Monica Butz provided a diversion from class. Since Art I was held right before the sopho- mores lunch period, Dwayne could frequently be heard asking Monica, What ' s for lunch? This was a daily ritual and Monica would memorize the weekly cafeteria menu for Dwayne ' s convenience. First hour art students also worked on oil paintings. They made jewelery, and combined with Art I students in order to decorate a Christmas tree. The tree was located downtown in the Lahr hotel. The students put minerature bird feeders on the branches, and made strings of cranberries and popcorn for the tree. They also placed cookie ornaments on it. The two classes got out of school for part of the day to perform the decorat- ing task, and everything went smoothly . . . almost. Mrs. Espenes forgot the cranberries, and had to send Mark Boyle back to retrieve them. Everybody has some type of artistic ability. While most of the CC students won ' t grow up to be Picasso ' s they did enjoy the class.
