The Fine Arts Department is made up of a set of courses that expand the horizons of the mind says Mrs. Robin Mouton, art teacher. Her classes do just that as they worked on line designing, tex- ture drawing, clay and ceramics, wire sculpture, and print making along with other Art and Craft classes. Photography I and ll students learning was limited only by their own wants. Mr. Droemer did an excellent job of teaching a few hun- dred students a lot about photogra- phy. By year's end, students had studied and practiced with pinhole cameras, developing film, camera lighting techniques, enlarging, mounting, spotting, and printing of pictures. ln Class Guitar, students learned the basics of guitar playing. Posi- tions, chords, and melodies were taught by Mr. Smith. Music ranging from classical to popular were stud- ied by students. ln Music Theory, students studied music literature throughout the historical periods. They also learned music compos- ition and rounded off the year by writing their own songs. Both choir and band did excep- tionally well this year, in both per- forming for students at assemblies and winning awards at U.l.L. com- petition. 198 Q an D E E 0 I U D Z 4 an I- nc 4 I D. 4 nc CD O I- O I n.
