I try to set it up so that an assignment is pleasure, as well as a lesson in technique, commented Ms. Wildfang , who is not just a teacher, but also a friend to students. In studio art, students get a chance to relax between academic classes and to exercise the right side of their brain. Many students look forward to the classes all day, which teach stu- dents basic techniques of art, but also allow for a great deal of creativity by students. The friendly and open atmosphere of classes clear students' minds and permit them to explore their artistic abilities with no limitations. EXPLORING NEW BOUNDRIES IN ART.

Chris Willoughby and Jeremiah Bruner . MUSIC Mr. Babcock, new to the music department, instructed students in grades 4 through 12, teaching Village students in the morning and Middle and Upper school students during 7th and 8th periods. He also taught music apprecia- tion to freshmen taking the 9th Grade Art Sur- vey. Villagers learned how to play wind and string instruments, while Middle and Upper school students built up their group repertoire and worked as an ensemble. The Upper school string ensemble debuted at the Art Show in November and also performed at the April 13 Art Show. Village, Middle, and Upper school students combined into an orchestra comprised of over 80 students, which played at the Winter Holi- day Program on January 6. On March 17, the Upper school orchestra performed in the Caba- ret, and the Village and Middle school orches- tras played on Grandparents' Day. Mr. Babcock's goal for the younger students is for them to possess the technical skill in order to perform and express with their instruments what they emotionally are feeling inside. The Middle school students learn different styles of playing and gain more control over their instru- ments. However, he has much higher expecta- tions of the Upper school students, believing that they should get a feeling of what it is like to work as professional musicians. 'W M. fn.

af ,,,, www p MA CERAMICS She's more like a friend than a teacherf' said freshman Amanda Parkes of Mrs. Webster. She teaches morning and afternoon ceramics classes to students in grades seven through twelve, giving them a basic instuction in the various techniques of clay- working. The classes are not rigidly structured and gave the students alot of leeway. Wedging clay and clean-up are the few tasks which not all students find fun. However, the beautiful pieces that were proudly dis- played in the Chadwick library and outside shows were proof of the talent and creativity which these students were able to express through application of the techniques that they had learned.
