How dull our lives would be if it were not for the artists forever creating beautiful and functional things. In our art classes we delved into the myriad aspects of art. Our aim was to acquire knowledge, skill and awareness, but above all we aspired to produce not necessarily artists, but rather oppreciofors of art. The seventh ond eighth graders studied another of the arts, music. The goal was a basic understanding and an appreciation of all music. A study of the history of music and how it relates to events of the times leads to an understanding of the mood and purpose of the selection under scrutiny. For instance, the music of Bach is harmonious and disciplined, while that of Beethoven is fiery and full of turbulence. After these students came closer to appreciation of music they went to hear the Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra perform one of their Young People's Concerts. 25
