1 nr fine arts departments Develop Asthetic Appreciation The FINE ARTS DEPARTMENTS offer students the opportunity to express themselves with imagination and creativity while developing natural talents. As a result of intensive work in the classroom, many line music programs and art displays are presented throughout the year. The Art Departments, under the direction of Miss Velma F. Dickson, provide for the interests of talented students through a wide program of instruction. The curriculum includes introductory and advanced courses in applied art and ceramics. Through experimentation with the use of cloth, glass, tile, wire, paint, and paper, students find new ideas and develop selective taste. The Music Departments, headed by Mr. John L. Svoboda. give students training in two important areas: vocal and instrumental music. Annually, many line concerts demonstrate the development of student talent which is encouraged by the departments. Velma F. Dickson Slate U.. of Iowa. M A. 2J years North campus Richard W.
