Art To meet the need for artistic expression of many of South's students, the art department offered such diverse classes as commercial art, fashion drawing, and art appreciation, which enlisted many new techniques. Ceramics was taught in addition to the standard crafts and drawing and painting classes offered by many high schools. Techniques involved and mas- tered by students included lithograph, oil, tempera, charcoal, water color, leather, plastic and clay. Students who completed the courses offered appreciated the qualities of art and its masterful works, and the influence of man's expression through arts on everyday life.
