ART EDUCATION Designing, drawing, teaching, painting, these are the life of an artist-teacher and the student lives these activities in Indiana ' s Art Department. The faculty, housing, and equipment have been devel- oped with the idea of combining the practical and the ideal in order that the future art supervisor may become socially and emotionally adjusted by work- ing as a member of a group in an atmosphere which encourages creative thinking. The art faculty ' s ex- perience and training in fine arts and in education enables the students to specialize in one or more of the art fields. ORVAL KIPP Director of Department
