Students Master Language of Arts 24 To students with a taste for some of the more savory bits of life, the Fine Arts curriculum is like an “eleven course” gourmet meal. Like appetizers. Beginning Band, Beginning Choral, and Fine Arts only serve to whet the appetite for further cultural experiences. Those who take these courses may not emerge Masters or Virtuosos, but somehow a sour note of their very own, a hole in the center of a paper worn thin from erasing, a painting of a horse that everyone thinks is a mule means much more. Experiences like these instill a deep appreciation for those who are truly talented. In the Art Department, Mr. Foye instinctively allows his students to experiment freely and independently, believing that “Imagination is more important than knowledge.” Students try to re- member that this imagination grows through exer- cise as cleaning bills grow through futile attempts to remove dried clay, and chalky plaster from clothes. For those interested in advancing in one special area of art. Independent Study and Photog- raphy courses are becoming increasingly popular. Music also offers ever-widening opportunities. Advanced Choral and Advanced Band students branch out on their own, forming groups of folk, rock, and contemporary singers and musicians. This year, even student-to-student guitar lessons are offered. The Fine Arts classes can be like scrumptious, enticing delicacies, but the students themselves must season the recipe with sincerity, imagination, and enthusiasm.
