Creati ve Minds Look for Cultural Expansion in Art A D.C. art student is easily recognized in the halls as the one with a charcoal-colored shirt, modeling-clay tie, and bright oil-painted hands. Classes, ranging from the basics of Fine Arts to the in-depth study of Art Seminar, tap the hidden resources of creativity in potential artists. Mr. Foye, head of the art department, can frequently be found working on a “Foye Original.” A new addition has provided more space and opportunity to branch out in art. Ceramics class has acquired a kiln and with it new experiences. Students find that air bubbles can lead to explosive ends and spare clay to ammunition in a clay fight. In Painting, it seems that not all the paint reaches the canvas and students find that sitting in the art desks adds color to their life as well as their suits. Mr. Birchmeier and Mr. Foye have collaborated on a new course. Photography. The class learns how to turn such common objects as stop signs, sewage disposal plants, and shiny bald heads into interesting subjects, along with dark room techniques. The art classes give students more than a large laundry bill and oil-paint measles. They give each a new mode of self expression-a new experience to complete a student’s high school years. 26
