FANCY COLORS superior work is kept by the art department for the spring shows. They are then returned to the students, who may keep or sell their work. Most students prefer to keep their work as a reminder of high school. Phyllis Weiss views art as an outlet for imaginative expression. Art is not only rewarding as a profession, but many famous inventors, scientists, actors and leaders in other fields paint and enjoy art as an outlet during their lives. With the knowledge gained in our department, we feel students are ready to accom- plish any area of art they wish to explore. For students interested in art and art history, Granite South offers a series of art classes in which different levels of achievement may be attained. Some of the basics presented to art students are color theory, design concepts, compo- sition and perspective, as well as dimensional work. When students have mastered these skills, they may enroll in advanced art, where they will work on an oil painting and a copy of a master ' s artwork. In addition to these projects, they will do a ceramic sculpture of a human figure and do research in various medias of art. After the projects are completed, 1. Phyllis Weiss gives a helpful suggestion to Gwen Simpson. 2. Frank Schwarzkopf relaxes after finishing his work. 3.
