ART The Art Department has both a cultural and a professional purpose. It tries to assist all students in the development of reliable taste, sound appre- ciation, and fine discrimination. Some courses help prepare students for various careers in the arts through the development of skills peculiar to these professions; however, the department emphasizes an enlarged vision of the cultural aspects of art and its relation to other disciplines. Art classes are rapidly growing and becoming in- creasingly popular with students from other fields, as more students take their electives in art courses. It is a distinct advantage of a small liberal arts college that such an Opportunity is available. As this department is now housed completely in St. Lukets, the students have the advantage of observing the progress made in every course offered. Sr. Sienna, S.N.D., M.F.A., explains a project of School Art to Kathy Dom- ing, Fr. Art majors learn early to profit from their mistakes. David Haberman, M.F.A., offers constructive criticism to Jim Brewer, Jr., with Pat Kramer, 50., taking advantage of it also. 26
