Art helps Redskins express inner feelings Demonstrating the art of lithography are Bruce Henschen, Denise Antone, Mike Krempel, and Carole Masloob. Students who think art classes just drew pictures of animals and still life sketches are taught to think again in art. Before a student enrolls in advanced art he must take a basic art course dealing with fundamen- tals.
