Cohoes High School students find creative and cultural fulfillment under the direction of Mrs. Levy and Mr. Lipka of the art department. Stu- dents in the seventh and eighth grades are required to take a basic course in art. Senior high students may elect courses in basic art, graphics, sculp- ture, contemporary painting, oil paint- ing, crafts and mechanical drawing. The highlight of the year for all art groups is the Spring Exhibit - an activity for which they plan all year.
