PAINTING AND ILLUSTRATION Paintings express the most meaningf ul experiences in life. The artist’s goal is to develop a sensitivity and an aware- ness of life and an appreciation for its many mysteries. The very act of being an artist expresses a great deal. The artist is a part of the time and turmoil in which he lives, but more than ever, he is cognizant of the past — has knoivn its successes and its failings. Certainly, we are fortunate to have the benefit of many cultural influences, but this increases our responsibility . Our Painting students have begun a search into the magic of illusion and symbol. Their struggle is in the direction of personal creative achievement. Academic study and tech- nical pursuit of craft are encouraged in order to bring about a real depth of education. The purpose of art education is to foster overall understanding and tolerance for man and to establish a creative capacity for life. Artistic maturity is achieved only through a perfect combination of discipline and freedom. A most precious gift is the atmosphere that stimulates the development of this combination.
