The Art Department The work of the art department emphasizes particularly the cultural side of art. lnstead of beginning immediately to produce work for exhibition, the student entering the Held gradually and carefully acquires a background. He learns to appreciate the work of others and to know what real art is. The art exhibits held in connection with this work help the students to develop the ability to judge and appreciate. The general introductory course gives the student a taste of the crafts, fine arts, and commercial art. He is encouraged to develop any marked ability he may possess along a particular line, and he is allowed sufficient leeway to do so. The student who continues as a fine arts student in his junior and senior years has the opportunity to select from a series of courses. The crafts offer several fields: jewelry, metal work, pottery, bead work, pup- petry, leather work, etc. Commercial art is one of the most popular courses in the Held. All phases of commercial work-field posters, book jackets, lettering, etc.-are engaged in. The student who does not wish to specialize in any one Held or who is interested in the fine arts as opposed to commercial art or the crafts may enroll in the general art course and study interior decorating, book illustration, and costume design-from the point of View of the costume designer and not from that of the commercial illustrator. Designing is done with either fabrics or paint. Any of the courses mentioned may be continued for two or three years because advanced work is given. Yet, since some of the shop and business courses of the general and commercial departments increase greatly in value when correlated art courses are of- fered with them, students may take a special course which includes art in the home and art in industry, and devote one semester to each phase of the course. However, they pursue the art work only so far as it is directly related to their other subjects. 291

The newest shop course in the school is the three-year electrical course under the direction of Carl Dannerth. Con- struction of radios is very popular among the pupils taking this course.
