PAINTERS HAVE FUN CREATING WORKS OF ART? Mrs. Morley, art instructor, points out the good and not so good details of modem art to Leonard Gallup. Modern design is just one of the many kinds of art studied. One project of the art classes was painting the store windows at Halloween. Ron Davis, Nancy White, and Ed Mattison pencil sketch, which is part of the art course. F. fmqemilg, .aid f From DeVinci to Picassog Rem- brandt to Van Goghg Howell's art students learn the history of art. Painting isn't the only phase of this study, with weaving, sculpturing and all types of art from prehistoric to modern playing an important part in the classes. Beginning art students learn the fundamentals in drawing, oil and water painting, design, and color theory. Advanced art offers the stu- dent the chance for individual pro- jects in oil painting, weaving, sculp- turing, paper mache' objects, and architecture and design. The theory of advertising art gives the student the opportunity to see how art is used in advertising. A study is also made of the four popular modern forms of art: ab- stract, realistic, non-objective and fantasy. Each student then paints an example of each of these types. Art is also offered on the junior high level, with elective classes meeting twice a week. This gives the student an opportunity to express himself creatively with paint, soap, wire, toothpicks, and many other materials. Oil painting brings out num- erous c o l o rf ul designs, like the o n e B e v e rl y Granger is paint- ing. Ed Mattison evaluates his charcoal sketch of his favorite mare.
