Pursuing creativity in a variety of ways, Art students applied themselves to silkscreen, boutiques, batiks, stitchery, copper enameling, charcoal casting, pen and ink drawings, line designs, and soap carvings. Some students indulged in clay, Senior Andy Patterson said it was fun but, We needed a lot more potter's wheels. Making do with the materials, art students seemed to be specialists who were satisfied with concentrating on the use of their hands as a means of expression. Although the lack of materials was always present, Art teachers seemed to get wise to the fact that money could be raised by school sponsored shows such as Arts and Crafts Sale, held in the first week of December. With the money from the Art Sale in April, 1975, teacher Barbara Dillon was able to purchase an additional sink and more cabinets, as a means of brightening the room and as a service to those who were messy when they worked. For additional working materials the cabinets provided space so the problem of storage was soon corrected. In response to the State Attorney General's announcement that art students would no longer pay fees, Barbara Dillon said, I hope it doesnft hurt the Art program. The question is whether or not the district will be able to furnish the Department with enough money to provide necessary equipment and materials to continue our present program. Not pin-pointing any one specific subject to teach, Mrs. Dillon enjoyed seeing each student working up to his potential and discovering new interests. Most art teachers agreed that this was the most outstanding group of art students they had encountered in many years. Even though the noises and smells from the Cray Wing repulsed some, others realized that they produced a self-satisfying means of expression. ART - 205
