Paints, clay, sketch books, I just used as tools of trade Pencils and sketch books littered the tables haphazardly. Paint dotted the bles. Mounds of clay stood waiting for pnds to finish sculpting them. These ghts filled the room throughout the year ld clearly expressed its purpose: to pro- de a place for students to learn about and 'preciate art. This appreciation was developed lrough the various undertakings of the udents. These projects started with the ttremely simple drawings of the four nsic shapes: the cylinder, the cube, the ine, and the sphere. These shapes were fan combined to form faces, rooms, and her objects. The student experimented th other art forms after he worked with e basics. Calligraphy, painting, and qulpture were all offered to the students. Through all their work with the different ediums, the students were supposed to in an appreciation of art. Mrs. Becky tola put it this way. I think art is impor- nt because it makes a more well-rounded udent, and it lets the student open their l l eyes to the world and see its detail. Details, however, were not quite as important in another art, industrial arts. Industrial Arts dealt with precision regardless of whether or not it was metal, wood, or drafting. All of these classes were important for precise construction of build- ings and other things. Drafting dealt with building objects on paper. The objects varied from extremely simple three-dimensional objects to houses. The possibility for drawings was endless provided the student had the tal- ents and enthusiasm to create his or her own dream plans. Of course, plans are not much good without someone to use them to make a tangible object. This was where the lndus- trial Arts wood and metal classes fit in. These students learned the skills necessary to construct various edifices. They worked on many different projects including build- ing an actual house.
