Visual Arts Department Hei.f.n F. Patton Chairman Department of Visual Arts B.S., George Peabody College for Teachers; M.A., University of Chicago The art department develops in the student an understanding and an appreciation in the visual arts and institutes a sound foundation for achievement in the fine or applied arts. The start consists of practicing artists, so that each member of the class may receive a maximum of individual instruction in her personal creative efforts. The basic course in the art department is Art History, consisting of an introduction of art in various civilizations and their contributions to contemporary forms. Students are offered courses in sculpturing, drawing, painting, basic design, interior decoration, and commercial art. We shall long remember the traveling exhibitions and displays of student work which are shown throughout the year.
