Budding Artists l'lave Nine Course Choices. Three second-floor studio classrooms provided space and atmosphere for budding artists to express their creativity. Nine courses were offered to satisfy students' diverse interests and needs. After a mandatory semester of Introduction to Art in which the design elements were studied and a semester of Drawing I in which still life, landscape, and figure studies in various media were examined, students were able to select areas of specialization in painting, sculpture, ceramics, printmaking, or commercial art. In addition, a craft class, requiring no prerequisite, was offered to students who enioyed art as a hobby or as a leisure time activity. A seminar course for senior students permitted them to independently -study an area of their own choosing. The variety of art classes gave students the opportunity to expand their talents outside of the traditional, formal classroom and allowed them the freedom to express themselves through their artistic endeavors. if Above.
