'x t ti N. , if it ff - Mrs. Young checks the work of students who are drawings. tv Products Of Fine Arts Are Shaped By Hand, Mind And Heart The creative lite of Patrick Henry is' centered around the three divisions of the Fine Arts Department. First is the Art De- partment, which offered bas'ic classes for budding artists and advanced classes for more experi- enced students. The curriculum included the rudiments of draw- ing and the use of various media and techniques. Later, students employed their knowledge when working on individual projects. Art history strengthened each student's background and helped him to form his' own style and character of work. Next is the Industrial Arts De- partment, which emphasized pre- cision rather than artistic ability. Many phases of diagram drawing were taught in mechanical draw- ing clcissesk Beginning with the delineation of basic forms, the course gradually built up to the designing of house plans. Neat- ness and accuracy played a major role in shop as well as mechanical drawing. Sanding, carving, and other essentials of carpentry led to the completion ot various pro- jects. Work in ceramics and met- als developed craftsmanship. 29 illustrating poems with pen and ink
