36 Art Challenges Creativity Develops Inclivicluality Allows Expression Many individuals are born artists while others are not. However, every student enrolled in the ND Art Department has the oppor- tunity to express his own artistic ability. In Art I the novice Van Gogh is introduced to basic drawing techniques and art fundamentals While in Art II beginning painting is covered. Also, the Beginning Sculpture class offers the student the chance to work in different mediums such as wax, clay, or plastic. These are just a few examples of the myriad and diverse courses offered by the department. Under the direction of art teacher, Mr. John Giordano, the ap- proach to art for the ND student is unique. Each student is en- couraged to discover his own talent, to advance at his own rate, and to acquire skill with his favorite form of expression. In addition, the Art Department also sponsors an exhibition where the works of the future Rembrandts can be viewed by the public. llIMIhlwaKnln76.M'lhE1mQ,vfLimtx1n, Mflfl ,wi H H H
