Art—a spice of life Art affects you. That’s right . you! Art touches everyone’s life, in one way or another. In fact, the very first thing that caught your eye the very first day of school was probably a huge “Welcome” sign in front of the school—a product of the Art De- partment. Many other signs around the school are, too, but a lot of us don't realize it! Art classes have taken on many new aspects this year. For example, career education in commercial art, more ceramics, more crafts, etc. Al- ways changing, because art is always changing. Twenty-five projects are complet- ed each year by the average art student. But completing a project doesn’t mean it’s put on a shelf to collect dust! No, completed projects are displayed in local art shows held throughout the year, such as Kalei- doscope and the County Fair. The main attraction for art lovers of all kinds is the Spring Art Exhibit in May. The gym becomes a mini art museum for several days, open house is held, and everyone is amazed at the beautiful paintings and crafts created by art students. About fifty of the 200 art students have membership in the Art Club, which spent over a month creating a “Cinderella’”’ float for the Home- coming court, as beautiful as the girls who rode on it. If variety is the spice of life, then Art must be the spice of Rustburg! As Kaye Franklin supervises, Margie Williams adds the final touch to her pastel.

Learning the art of opening cans, Jeff Exum studies this one very carefully in Mrs. Lee’s art class. 14 Art
