ARTS DEPARTMENT Helping students to express themselves through creating is the goal of the Arts Department at Council Rock. The department, which is divided into four areas: music, home economics, industrial arts, and art-helps students develop their artistic and creative abilities. Stu- dents are given the opportunity to experiment with foods, colors, textures, tools, and sound and through these their individuality and uniqueness can be ex- pressed. In the area of music, the student is able to develop his musical talents and learns to appreciate many dif- ferent forms of music. The training received here will provide a student with many hours of enioyment and fun in the future years, even if a musical career is not pursued. No matter what field a student pursues after high school, industrial arts will always be useful-training for a variety of iobs is provided as well as essential skills for becoming the family handy-man . Every girl should be able to cook a meal and to put in a hem. Home economics teaches these and other skills necessary for successful home management, A student taking art is given many opportunities to create masterpieces in paint and to work with other art media. At the completion of these courses the stu- dent has received an arts background that will be of value to him throughout his lifetime from a pragmatic as well as aesthetic viewpoint.
