Ariisi Johnnie's talent Art proved to be one of Parkview student Johnnie James' greatest tal- ents. He enjoyed doing many kinds of art work this year and became interested in art in the sixth grade by watching other students draw. He decided to take up art in the seventh grade and has been enrolled in courses since. Not only did James enjoy art but he also enjoyed awards he received for it. He received a commendation from Governor David Pryor for the front cover of a book, a third place trophy from the school board and first place ribbons for ink drawings. I feel about my drawings, the way an author feels about his book, said James. Besides drawing, James enjoyed working with watercolor, oils, pencil and plaster. Johnnie has a lot of talent and self motivationg he does a lot of work on his own. He is a very generous person with his talent, time and effort, said Jim Cook, art teacher. Drawlng.
