What’s the difference between super-graphics and an art class? A supergraphics class is a group of selected students who must be responsible, capable, and cooperative. An art class is students who signed up for the class. Mrs. McQuitty stated, Yes, it’s art but the nature is different. Mrs. McQuitty enjoys teaching the supergraphics class. The most recent example of work done by supergraphics is on the wall in the woods room. The oldest painting is on the Washington School lunchroom wall. Also, are the big paintings on the walls in the gym and halls. When asking students what they enjoyed about the class students said This class is the best class we’ve taken.” Others say they like the class because they like going different places to paint. I like the class because it’s not like a regular art class where you paint on paper; you get to paint on large surfaces,” remarked a supergraphics student. Three art students, Jeff Whitingcr, Eric Stewart, and Cecil Davis painted Cafetorium on the cafeteria’s south wall. This was done during the 1983-84 school year. The Panther wrestling design in the wrestling room was done by a few of Mrs. McQuitty’s art students. This adds much class and spirit for our Panther Wrestlers. 12 Studcnt Life
