Senior Melissa Ashby embroiders a quilt top in Crafts class. She also designed a pillow to match the quilt. 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

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. Tim Johns adds color to his egyptian sarcophagi lid for a fictional deceased pharoh in Art Appreciation class. Tim took Art Appreciation, Crafts, and Art Design his first semester and then graduated mid term. 28 Art

Pertinent Provisions Most students tend to develop spring fever towards the last nine weeks of the school year. These symptoms usually include carelessness, lack of concentration, poor budgeting of time and many other symptoms depending on the individual. When Accounting I and II students catch this fever the results may be devastating. During the last nine weeks of the year a manual practice set was assigned to Accounting I students. This practice set was basically two months worth of transactions, financial reports, end-of-the-year closings, and any other type of work a bookkeeper would fill out and record in a merchandising corporation. “This is a hands-on work experience which gives the student an opportunity to be in a job situation. The students soon realize that to get this set done it takes wise management of time and careful calculations. One careless error may take a day to find thus using precious time,” stated Mrs. Ollestad, accounting instructor. “I was glad I kept up on my work through the year. When it came time to start my practice set I didn't have to look back in the book to remember how to do things. It took me all the allotted time to finish the set, this was with only a few errors, replied Gi Gearhart. While Accounting I students were working with a manual set, Accounting II students were assigned an automated set which was completed on computers. There were four divisions in automated accounting that students work with (accounts payable, accounts receivable, payroll, and general ledger.) The students filled out transaction sheets and inputted the information into a computer. “I don't do much work with computers in the student’s first year of accounting because I feel the students need to know the basic concepts of manual accounting before he she can understand what the computer is doing automatically. When students input the transactions incorrectly, they need to be able to correct their mistake, replied Mrs. Ollestad. “My job in the office of Dill-man’s Heating and Air Conditioning made use of many of the skills I acquired in my business classes. The filing of records, the recording of transactions, and the typing skills I developed and refined were a tremendous asset in this particular job, stated Mechelle Deweese.
