Joan Nelson , Loren inc Arts Arts and Crafts have been studied by many students during the past year to gain some experience in the creative arts. The purpose of art, as an elective course, is to give the student an opportunity to actively participate in creating different pieces of art Work. Students also experiment with different materials and media and different creative processes. Contour and interpre- tive drawing, relief printing, color theory, product design and advertising are a few subjects art 3X4 stu- dents covered. Art 5X6 students covered intermediate drawing, light and dark studies, photo montage, collage, papier machelsculpture, oil painting, and psychedelic posters. The main goal of crafts is to teach students basic skills in using the tools and equipment plus develop- ing a creative design. In crafts 3X4 students learned basic design, jewel- ry making, sculpturing and leather crafts, book bind- ing, and house models. While advanced sculpturing, leather, enameling, plastics, glass Work, castjewel- ry and wood carving were covered in crafts 5f6.
