Arts Encourage Creativity and Appreciation Vicky Cedervall and Kevin Setter are sodering silver in their fourth hour Metal Design class. Kim Morrison is shown taking measurements for a mat to frame the picture she drew. She is in Mr. Taggart ' s fifth hour drawing and painting class. The students artistic talent is engulfed in the depths of self-expression using practically every conceivable form of mass media. Art 1 ’s supplies and creativity are limitless, paints, yarn, collages, and linoleum imprints. Masses of gray and red clay are plopped onto a potter’s wheel to form large pots and medium sized pitchers. When glazed and fired, the final product is not drab, but instead it shows individualistic character. A pot may have an absurd face imprinted on one side or a pitcher may have five spouts. In Drawing and Painting, landscape and volunteer models are captured by colored brushes and Indian ink pens swirling onto many forms of textured paper. Commercial Design went far with the field of fashion illustration, and conquered precise movements needed for the many forms of lettering. The students were also taught how to make personal and imaginative Christmas cards. Hands in Textile Design made the colorful dyes and melted wax form into luminous circles on shirts, pillows, T-shirts and even socks. With a firey glow of seated metals and constant pounding of shineless copper all go to make the beautiful products turned out by Metal Design. Bracelets, rings, necklaces; real craftsmen’s handiwork. Jane Metzker, Jane Smiley, and Beth Corbin show some of their accomplishments in Mrs. Labeau’s taxtile class third hour. Other students can be seen working in the background. Beth’s project is working with batik dyeing, while Jane Smiley does embroidery and Jane Metzker does tie - dyeing. 22
