First Exposure The junior high industrial arts class is usually the students first exposure to the elements of the work a day world, said Junior High Industrial Arts teacher, Mr. David Irvine. Many people don't understand the reason we have industrial arts. The class develops an understanding of industry and provides occupational awareness. The class alternated between their notebooks which dealt with industry, and their shop projects. They learned how to run various power tools such as the radial arm saw, the planer, and the electric sander, said Mr. Irvine. In addition to our regular classroom activities, we spent six weeks in the shop creating laminated wood ducks. Our goal in classroom activities was to discuss the various aspects of industry and how it relates to everyday life, said Mr. Irvin. I really enjoyed the class because I liked using tools I have not used before, said seventh grader Jon Chappie. Mr. Irvine said, The students have to be responsible because power tools can be dangerous when not used properly. They were responsible for shaping the wood to size, smoothing it, and laminating the contrasting colored woods together. The students were able to gain practical application as they used various tools and had fun at the same time, said Mr. Irvine. The students handled the work in the classroom and now have a basic knowledge of industry and how to apply it, ended Mr. Irvine. Industrial Arts 17

Make It Match Why don't orange and green go together? asked Kim Case as she tried to figure out her color scheme. Space, line and texture were also part of her project: designing an apartment. Designing an apartment was only one of the many topics covered in Marriage and Housing class. Color is the most important decorating element. It creates optical effects. Using bright, warm colors in furniture patterns makes the object appear larger. Also, by painting a high ceiling red it will appear lower. Using light greys and blues, a small room will look larger if the walls, floor coverings and furniture are different tones of those same colors. Space, or the lack of it, is an important element in designing a room. The way a design arranges the space of the room creates the mood within it. Too much emptiness can give the feeling of inferiority. Arranging furniture in small groups gives the feeling of security- Line is another element which suggests different moods. A horizontal line suggests rest. Action is suggested with a vertical line and the diagonal or zigzag line indicates movement. Texture is the surface of an object which affects the color of it. A rough texture light casts a shadow and makes the color seem darker, which is important when trying to match colors in different textures. “All elements must work together in order for a room to be comfortable. It isn't just how furniture feels when we sit in it that determines how comfortable we feel in a room, the use of color, texture and line also come into play, said Mrs. Janice McMahan. Home Ec 19
