The art department of Classical offers four courses in art. rin Itrmzrs he mail tn luring tu . , H mlm liicsmrbxr tau if fly: 3.1im'nc.zn prnplr mah mt tn br. Art I is a general course which meets four periods a week. The course familiarizes the student with the vari- ous art media while teaching the fundamentals of line, color, and design. Specifically it deals with lettering, design, posters, drawing, painting, modeling, and color. Art I requires no homework and is a one-half credit course. Art Il, Graphic Arts, a full credit subject, incorpor- ates the learning of Art I. Graphic Arts is that activity by which the student expresses his thoughts and feelings through the use of such processes as drawing, painting, application of symbols, block printing, and book bind- ing. All of this combines lettering, layout, design and color. Art Ill, School Publicity and Display, uses Art I andfor Art II as a foundation, and applies that experi- ence to interior and exterior design, stage settings, and display work of the building. Art IV is primarily concerned with drawing, painting, rift it af u ala r rr mt lxrr Qftlflt lm? ln. MRS. HELENA LARAMEE Mrs. Laramee is a graduate of Classical High School, Mas- sachusetts College of Art, Uni- versity of Massachusetts, and Springfield College. She has also studied privately with sev- eral outstanding painters and silversmiths and has done mur- al painting with Thurston Munson. Her dedication to art has been evident in the many projects in which she engages and through the success of her art students as they pursue their art careers. and sculpture. Out-door sketching combines civic ap- preciation with learning to draw and paint. When weather does not permit out-door work, figure study from costume models and workin clay is carried on. From the freshman year on, these art courses prepare for a portfolio of work which would be acceptable for art school admissions. Many of our gifted students plan an art career. A unique contribution to this preparation is work in the history of art. This gives a cultural back- ground which is augmented by an annual field trip to the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, Mrs. Jack Cardneras Palace in the Fenway, and the Scholastic Art Awards Exhibition at Boston University. For the past five years, Classical students have not only been selected to exhibit in this important regional show, but also have been the recipients of highest regional awards, The Cold Key and The Blue Ribbon. Mrs. Laramee is also adviser for a very active group the Art Club. Student model, Mary Rodriguez, poses in Span- ish costume for Linda Cohen, Donna MacPhee, Ann Broska, Cary Hawkins, and Larry Stutz.
