New Effective Techniques Stir Students’ Originality Originality is the keynote of the Art Depart- ment. With this in mind, Mr. Randolph Cheatham sought new methods of provoking individuality and independence in his students’ work. Gathering card- board from far and wide, he constructed about 35 desk-size booths. In these booths students were free to be as creative as their imaginations allowed with- out dependence upon their neighbors. Mrs. Helen Sanders tested effective lecture and discussion technique on her art appreciation class- es. In these sessions many a student's eye was opened to the world of art. In a busy workshop, created among all of the jewelry students, Mrs. Sanders pointed out the value of care and precision, while next door, Mr. Cheatham was busy giving ad- vice here and pointing out an error there. Because of this, many students felt that he was coaching them into development rather than teaching. i i | i : i | i i ‘ i : and Andy Hein are busy at work in their own booths. Lecturing on line and form, Mrs. Sanders directs the atten- tion of Bill McConnell and Betty Hall toward the line stabile. Administration and Departments 29
