Vivian Holland, senior, works diligently on oil painting, displaying her artistic imagination Annette Knopp, senior, works earnestly on macrame, a new craft in the Art Department this year. Crafts used in art class add variety To improve the Art Department this year, Mr. Kay Darnell incorporat- ed crafts into his curriculum. Art I classes do a fine arts project for the year, besides working with macrame and other crafts. Art II is generally the same; however, basic projects become more complicated and students learn oil painting. Art III students work on one basic project a semester, switching at midterm. These projects range from painting to sculpturing, depending on how the student wishes to express him- self. The main desire of the Art Depart- ment is to expand its facilities and choices of creativity so that more students will take an avid interest in art. Pam Franklin sophomore, prepares her paint. academics 29
