Department stresses art appreciation J. Brad Bodkin Art is by far man's oldest and most ver- satile mode of communication. The need for a means of expressing ideas was present long before verbal messages were sent, so man put his thoughts into crude pictures and signs.

Courses are offered both the inex- perienced and the advanced art student to provide a basis for further study in man's most versatile mode of communication-art.
