MRS. WHEAT ART Art for the fifth and sixth graders is a bit more rushed than it is in grades seven and eight where they have art five days a week. At this level 2 days is the allotment so we really have to work fast. Projects have ben done in water color, markers, paper sculptures, tempra pastel, ceramics, and even some printing techniques. Some classes have been on walks to collect and press leaves and flowers from the Clarendon campus and many pieces of art work were entered in a show at Christown Mall. All through the year work has been displayed in the art room and library as well. This year in junior high art, the students have done projects in every- thing from pencil to ceramics, They have enlarged pictures using a grid technique and have worked with pastels, stencils paint, and pen and ink. They have created plaster shapes caste from clay molds they made themselves and they designed floor plans for entire homes where money was no object, Some of the ads in this yearbook were designed by Clarendon artist. Clarendon art work has also been displayed at two Phoenix shopping malls, the Phoenix Art Museum, and a Claredon band concert, not to mention the show that is always changing in the art room itself.
