I like the opportunity to show my art work to my friends, be- cause all they ever see is when I doodle, said Junior Adesa Cagle. In the art show they get to see my finished product. Cagle eamed a second place on an abstract pastel drawing of a dragon called Fear: in the eye of the beholderf' Her entries in the art show took her anywhere from three months to three days to complete. Cagle added that the quality of art in the school would be better if the program were more serious. We have a lot of talented kids, she said, but the school just doesn't give enough encourage- ment for the kids to pursue a ca- reer in art, instead of just a hobby. Cagle wanted the art program to teach the students professional skills: how to put togethera portfolio and how to list references. She noted, Art should be more like a vocational class and we should be able to letter in art. LHS students enjoyed looking at the art during class breaks and after the annual lip-sync. Sopho- more Tracy Vercimak said she was glad to see the show because it showed great creativity and ar- tistic expression. She noted, The artwork transmitted great aes- thetic taste. You could really tell how much time and effort was put into each entry. Jon Jensen
