But not anymore. Department chairman, Lauren Davis, said, I have students who say art is the most time consuming class they have ever taken. This year, a lot of exciting things have happened for Central's art department. Two new teachers were added to the staff, Pat Stratmann and Bill Beshears. The two new teachers brought a great deal of enthusiasm and fun to the whole department. Two new classes were also added to give a better variety for the students. These classes were Computer Graphics and Advertising II. Ad- vertising II frequently worked with the busi- ness and drama departments, to help create ads and commercials. Computer Graphics helped broaden the horizon for future video and graphic classes. -i. Compared to other schools, Central'5 an department is one of the finest in the area, College representatives usually come to Central first when recruiting future artists, On the average, 10 to 12 students who gre, duate from Parkway Central every year, go on to careers in art. Central art students receive numerous awards each year, and this year was no ex. ception. They won ribbons at the Olivene art show. Also, students from Central won more awards than any other school within a 100 mile radius, at the Young Artists show at the Galleria. Davis feels there is a place in the an department for each and every student, There is enough diversity in the program 50 that anyone can be succesful in art, she says. llllllllllfi f r X f f in I X . , fy Q I , W f f--'2 Z ., ,Ni-g f fs V- 0 f .5,. ,5 . 2 f 4M U x ,R , . 4 2, ' , 6 .

Parkway Central Students Display Their Work At Art Shows There are five art shows in which Central participates anually each year. Four of these shows are held at Central and the other is held at Queeny Park. Students at Central have become more interested in the school art shows which are held twice a year. At the end of each semes- ter, students have a chance to see the work done by their classmates. Each student taking the Honors Art class had the opportunity to diplay hisfher indi- vidual works at their own show. There was also a regional show in which grades K-12 displayed projects and paint- ings. This show was visited by students and teachers from other schools and districts. Bill Beshears has his students at his mercy, as he decides their semester grasdes. Pat Stratmann looks over the prints of her students, Seniors Wendy Webb and Donna Briscoe.
