Creative artists exhibit projects Art exhibitions? That's one good way to get notoriety. Art students got a chance to show their talents and hard work in various ways through- out the year. Poster contests sponsored by the March of Dimes and by the Humane Society brought in several entries. Honorable men- tion was given to Mrs. Haskett's students. One of the most competitive contests, sponsored by L.S. Ayres, accepts only 1 5% of the entries. Amy LaVertu received honorable mention for her artis- tic entry. Various art projects such as oil and water color paintings, three dimensional pictures, charcoal drawings, and pencil drawings were displayed during the intermission of the spring musical as part of the 500 Art Festival and for parents. An unusual event that ad- vanced students participated in was Mail Art. This project required contes- tants to draw a picture on a postcard and send it to another student, a copy to a professional artist, and a copy to be dis- played in Nevada. Mrs. Haskett's students were the only entries from Indiana in this internationally known com- petition. George Newhart and Paul Koehl competed with other art students for scholarships at the Herron School of Art. Both won scholarships for one class. Michele Horning entered a media show in Carmel and re- ceived a first place ribbon for her drawings. John White wrote the composition which the artwork followed. I think Scecina has a pretty good art department for such a small school, commented Mi- chele Horning. Classes include Arts and Crafts, Art Apprecia- tion, Art, and Advanced Art. TAKING FORM . . .
