Art department molds students into artists Hurrying to finish a painting or dip- ping your hands in a trash can full of clay is all part of being an art student in TR's Art Department. Students this year can choose from ten classes ranging from General Art to Ce- ramics. Students learn to master the pot- tery wheel in Ceramics or learn how to use the color wheel in Drawing and Painting. Once a student learns these skills he is no longer a student of art but an artist. wfvf, film ll V,g,jig1 ,,,.-,- .I ES: i ' r Q f Q-fi he .ia-, f- at v we , at :qi-jr .gf -- , ,z::fj W? t J 5 .N ,..- ,,-tt.t i . if .- t itstts me-M-1-. .- rj -sgvfp.. .!'2if ' ,,,.
