1 at 63,11 Art Develops Sensitivity To Environment The art classes teach the individual student to experiment with a variety of techniques and materials. The purpose of art classes is to help students acquire a basic knowledge of the ele- ments and principles of design and to apply this knowledge in independent work. The art classes teach the students to be observant and to appre- ciate the things around them and to acquire ideas of color and taste that will be used later in life.
