Drawing - With A Purpose f'Beauty is pleasure regarded as the quality of a thing. by George Santayana Mr. Young The word art has many meanings and there are many sides to an art course. There are oils, pastels, water colors and charcoals, por- traits and caricatures. The art course, itself, is divided into three main sub-headings, Commercial, Fine art, and crafts. The commercial field is made up of advertising, design, and lay- out to train members to lill the demand of industry for commercial artists. Fine art work is mainly in oils and pastels, portraits and land- scapes and small still life work. Experimentation is done on new art media. The craft field is based on expression through modeling and sculpturing in clay, paper and other materials and is an aid in the development of figure perspective. And it is expected by training and development of those capable, several students will enter the art field professionally. Even the stu- dents who do not follow art as their 1ife,s work will have received valuable training and will have at hand a most interesting hobby. Learning more about his profession.
