Art classes do work in textile design, still life, and posters. A course in crafts is open to anyone who is interested in designing and making practical things. Because more and more people travel to various countries, foreign languages should play an important role in our lives today. Courses in German, Norse, and Spanish are offered at North. Thus we are greatly helped to understand our neighbors across the seas better. 15
