George Sedlacek. deportment head. Rosalie Korwas. Richerd Walters, and Anita Ross. The deportment is divided into specialty oreos such os photography or pottery. Introduc- tory dosses in general art also ore offered These dosses ore divided among the reochers so that each reaches related subjects. The main objective of the deportment is to provide something for everyone. The goal is to appeal to those people with little ortisric ability os well os to those with o surplus, and to help everyone appreciate art. The deportment also tries to give extra help to stu- dents with more ortisric ability. These students con set up their own independent study dosses. The Art Deportment was remodeled the summer before lost. All the rooms ore adjacent and connected by wide openings. This is colled the open concept. Its pur- pose is to give students o chonce to see other kinds of art dosses. Of course this arrangement con be o problem or rimes, but the atmosphere is generally o good working one. “I strongly believe that it is o change for the better, soid Sedlacek. An important task of the deportment s is working with the English Deportment ro publish Image Magazine.
