Creativity grows The arts satisfy independence' Depending upon Their inTeresTs, sTu- denTs could choose from a varieTy of elecfive courses. Many sTudenTs de- veloped an inTeresT in The arTs. ArT classes gave sTudenTs The chance To be creaTive and To express Themselves. I plan To go To a design school To siudy adverTising design: STU- dio ArT has given me The chance To work wiTh a professional in The field, develop and puT TogeTher my porifo- lio, and experimenT wiTh new media while focusing on my plans for The fu- Ture, sTaTed Dawn Kinishi, senior. ArT noT only involved drawing, painT- ing, and sculpTing, puT iT involved cre- aTing of a differeni' kind- RadiofT.V., STagecrafT, and TheaTre ArTs. RadiofT.V. sTudenTs learned The arT of operaTing a radio sTaTion and mak- ing Their own commercials and radio shows, while The Television aspecT of The class enabled sTudenTs To work Joe Kruplnski and AnTione Doyle concenTraTe an Their designs in arT class. 1 'xx .M-:xxx 7 .1Qm 35-?'3+T rr T u4?gf'tI,'i.
