Art students find by Janet Campbell If a picture really is worth a thousand words, the CCCC art depart- ment could have written novels. Taught by Doug Hunter, this year's art classes were a different ex- perience for many students. Most of the students going to Cowley this year were not art maiors, so I tried to give them an idea of something they could use in later life, Hunter said. I taught them how to work with stained glass and weaving, which they can do in their spare time. Hunter said the basic knowledge the students learned in his courses could help them fill dull hours by drawing, sketching, painting, or doing other creative proiects. Many different classes were of- lN AND OUT, IN AND OUT - Art in- structor Doug Hunter was aided in his weaving classes by Mrs. Robert Bren- naman. iPhoto by Lorna Autryj creative ideas fered in the art department this year. They ranged from Art Appreciation to Painting and Drawing to Tex- tiles and ScuIpture. One class called Art Methods prepared students to become elementary school art teachers. Hunter feels that students are not rewarded for their work as often as they should be. One of the biggest problems with education is that we don't praise our individuals, Hunter said. I think that through praise, students can develop a lot of self-encouragement. Perhaps it was such praise that helped first-time art students like Lor- na Autry find that they had artistic ability. l found that I could draw when I didn't even know I could, Autry said. 26 REPl.AY!Art POTTERY PUPII. - Robert Goerke carefully shapes a clay pot on the spin- ning wheel in the art room as part of a class prolect. fPl1oto by Lorna Autryl

MUSIC MAKER--Jingle Bells was per- formed at the traditional Christmas Vespers in a not so traditional style as Cindy Harris teamed up with her twin sister Mindy, Joyce Mann and Robin Coldwell in a quartet version. Music department notes changes by Ann Hollenback Change. This word accurately describes the arranged into partners, who then music program at CCCC this year. Not only did the department have two new instructors, but it also had new facilities. This year we had the added ad- vantage of new practice rooms, said Fostine Moncrief, piano instructor. We had been handicapped on the availability of space. The new rooms helped a lot. In addition to the new rooms, a new ensemble was formed. Ac- cording to Kenneth Judd, vocal in- structor, the fourteen members were presented programs of singing choreography. The new group dubbed The Cowley-Co Singers. The purpose of the group public performance, Judd said. goal, my purpose in being here to build the vocal program and was was HMY was into something the college and its studen- ts could be proud of. Dr. Lynn Moller had many of the 28 ACADEMlCS!Music' some hopes for the band, which he conducted. With new uniforms for the pep band members, he helped them to acquire a new look. We purchased sweaters for the pep band students, and completed the outfit with black pants and shoes, Moller said. This just hadn't been done before. Both the choir and the band had Christmas and springtime concerts. There was also an organ and piano grecital, which included en- sembles and duets. Also, the band and choir performed a combination vocal and instrumental concert for the residents of the Presbyterian Manor. Recruiting was also part of the curriculum for both the band and the choir. We tried to take trips to area high schools for short concerts, Moller said. That way, they could see what we had and didn't have in the way of people and instruments. Someday l'd like to increase the size of the band to twice what we had this year. l'LL HUFF, AND l'l.l PUFF - Eric Norris toots on the tuba as the band rehearses for one of its concerts. lPhoto by David Bartonl
