Art To appreciate and create beauty is the goal of our art courses in St. Michael ' s. From a study of the basic principles of color and design in freshman year to the oil paint- ing course open to seniors, we develop our sense of beauty and creativity by study and execution. Under the guiding hand of Sr. Mary Philomena, students of art experiment with the various mediums and techniques. While all may not be artistically gifted, all do en- joy the chance to satisfy the innate desire everyone has to express herself and to ex- plore new fields of interest. Sharon Haddock pauses in her work to smile at the photographer. With determined countenances. Oil Painting students wield their brushes as Sister Mary Philomena ex- amines their efforts.
