Ages In Art Would you believe that art classes don’t always work with art supplies, but also study in books? “This art class was more academically oriented versus a hands on art class,”stated Mrs. Janeen Blo-menberg. Art Appreciation was offered for the first time last year. The class was offered because of the new honors diploma which required a fine arts credit. “Since not everyone likes to get their hands dirty doing art projects, a class was designed that involved book work instead of projects,” said Mrs. Blomenberg. Art Appreciation class studied world history through art. Students watched slides to see examples of art from different periods. Students had an opportunity to see how art changed and developed along with society. “We used a lot of slides and films. There were quizzes, tests, and a final exam. The class involved reading, doing worksheets and listening to Mrs. Blomenberg lecture,” stated Tim Johns. “After most units we did get to do a project. Some of our projects were Greek pitchers with sgraffito designs, prehistoric animal sculptures, and medieval illuminated letters.” The art class only had two students enrolled in it. One of those students graduated mid term so Art Appreciation was dropped and a second crafts class was added. “Since I intend to pursue an art career through Ivy Tech’s commercial arts program, this class has helped me to understand and appreciate art more because we learned a lot of new things,” said Tim Johns. Bobbie Edwards smooths the edges of her wall pocket heart while Nancy and Tonya Goode decorate the front of theirs. Ceramics was one of the projects completed in Crafts class.

Melissa made many different things for her baby during the year. “Would you please stop taking pictures?” Craig Branstetter, Brent Berken-stock, Marty Allain, and Russel Compton tape their watercolor paper to their painting boards. Upon completion of their paintings, the Art Design class students made mats and then framed their paintings with frames made by the Woods I students. Teri Rousch and Tami Wenger add paint splotches to the surface of the water in their tote tray. They carefully placed a piece of watercolor paper on the surface. The paper absorbed the paint taking on a psychedelic appearance. Art 29
