ART IS A WAY G. Bitsclibacli working on a painting. OF LIFE The art classes offered here at Oakfield High School are taught by Mrs. Horetzki. The classes are Basic Design which has to be taken before any others can follow. Also, there is Drawing and Painting, Crafts, Pottery, Sculpture, Commercial Art. and Independent Studies. New to the art room this year is an Air-brush and a Photography darkroom which used to be a storeroom. Mrs. Horetzki says that she loves to teach Art and would teach no other subject. Art is like a sunbeam, it is full of creation. It is so nice to be surrounded by such activity. In Art the time just flies by. At 3:00 the large hand on the clock moves to 3:15. It is so interesting to see time really fly by. Art is not all fun for sometimes you have to really concentrate on what you are drawing to create a believable work of art, but later your hard work pays off by a good grade. Donna Tedford I enjoy my art class because it's fun to learn new ways to draw when you have a good teacher. We also have the freedom to relax while working on our projects. In class we make real good drawings and we also have a good time working together. Dawn Smith 11 M. Kahlhammer cuts clay for a sculpture. Russ R. creates a painting.
