Confidence up Also yields freedom in expressing and creating. I enjoy participating in the programs. It helps you have more confidence in yourself, senior Cindy Pemberton, drama student, exclaimed. Art's a lot like poetry, poetry puts it in words, but in art you draw your feelings in pictures. This enhances your perceptive ability, senior Lisa Jones commented. My main purpose is to show a student how to communicate, sell their ideas, sell themselves to employers, and gain con- fidence in themselves, Mrs. Dorothy Mize, speech teacher, remarked. Confidence seemed to be the key word in not only drama, but art and speech as well. Although the classes seemed close in relationship, surprisingly enough, most students did not link them together. First off, junior Joan Martensen summed up drama by saying, It teaches you to handle a crisis situation. It develops creativity when making props, when ac- ting, and the ability to be relaxed and think on your feet in front of a crowdf, How does it teach these things? ln addition to the musical, UIL contest play, and short drama plays, short scenes were acted out in class by groups of 2-3 people. When not doing this, improvisa- tions were done which included acting in a crisis situation. For example, how would you feel getting stuck in an elevator or lost in a cave? Not only did students learn acting, but also creating props out of spit paper. FINE ARTS Joan also helped Mrs. Van Norden out with the costumes by designing, making the patterns, and sewing almost every costume in the UIL contest play. Most people see the world in black and white, but once you understand and know art, you see the world in color, designs and movementsfl senior Marty Kimbrough said. How did students learn to understand if7 With weekly assignments involving a newspaper picture to be drawn in a certain type of media lpaint, pencil, pen and ink, contourl, students began to become aware of small but distinct characteristics of an ordinary article. Students were also re- quired to do at least two major projects in the areas of drawing, mixed media, pain- ting, crafts, design or prints. To collect and organize ideas and to communicate those ideas effectively to people was the goal of speech students, Mrs. Mize remarked. How did students accomplish this? lt's like a workshop class. I try to get them in front of the class as often as I can to give them a feeling of confidence, Mrs. Mize continued. Basic assignments included things such as finding news articles in a magazine and taking that article and compiling it into a speech with facts and quotes. Keeping up with news also helped in writing more accurate speechesl A mixture of paper, paste, and water drips from sophomore Danny Barnes' hands aa he creates a paper mache duck in art.
