ART Careers in commercial arl an exciting and challenging. Excitement is generated in ever-changing concepts and techniques of visual communication. The application of these new concepts to the advertising and production needs of the business world is u challenge. The Vocational art program is designed to stimulate young, creative minds and develop technical skills to meet these needs. Because a sound art education must be built on a good foundation, students are thoroughly trained in the fundamentals of art and advance to the more technical areas of production techniques and processes. To summarize their experiences, commercial art students prepare portfolios of their best work for the next successful step in their cureers. Students in the specialised field of metal arts learn the techniques of soldering, filing, enameling, stone setting, polishing, ami numerous skills useful to their chosen profession. A basic background in design is also an essentiul course for this url. The jewelry and silversmithing produced by the Metal Arts students find a responsive market through the customers in the Corner Cove. 14
