N Preteaching can be done in one of two patterns. The concurrent pat- tern, done simultaneously with classes, makes it easier for students to watch the development of the children. In the break pattern, students observe during university breaks; semester break, spring break, or immediately following dismissal of university classes in May. The student receives credit when university classes are not in session. The break pattern helps them to see the events of a whole day in the classroom, Grissom said. iIEach one is unique because of where they are in the school yearfi Grissom said. uBoth have advan- tagesfi Martin said the Universityls pur- pose in establishing the class long ago was the same as the Boards pur- pose in creating the requirement.

The division is fine arts and the re- quirement is the senior art show for art majors, or the senior recital for music majors. Both must be held during the senior year, and students must pass if they are to graduate. Senior Janine Borron, music education major, said the music department is very competitive and the senior recital is a perfect time to go out and show everone what kind of a musician you are. llFor me it was kind of an ego thingfl she said. HI was out to prove I could play my instrument well. Borron began preparations for her recital last spring when she and one of her instructors picked out the music she would play on her sax- ophone. After it was selected and worked out fairly well, she rested until about September; then she started practicing a lot. III practiced about one and a half hours per day on the average to prepare myself for A BROKEN AUTOMOBILE WINDSHIELD and batik-dyed cloth were woven together by Pam Etter for her senior art show, Zeroing In. Etter exhibits her show in the second-floor hallway of Baldwin Hall. JQAEJQ snug . itfl she said. In addition to the long hours of practice, Borron also had to make her own arrangements with the ac- companist and arrange the location of the recital. Students may select any place that has proper facilities for a recital. Borron chose Baldwin Auditorium because she felt it was the ideal place for such a special event. The official recital was Dec. 9. A short time before, when she had the performance down well, she played the recital in front of the entire music faculty. ilI think its really a good ideafl she said tplaying the recital in front of the facultyy IIItls got to be up to their specifications then, in advance, or they just won't pass yoqu She said it gets people us- ed to playing in front of an au- dience, and, withOut this policy, iipeople might make a fool of themselves at their own recital? Borron said her own recital went well. III was very pleased and proud. 1th something you work on so hard that you just dont make any major mistakes. She said she felt relieved and happy when it was all over. nMy family was especially proud. My mother helped pay for my education and it was like the achievement of a goal we had both worked a long time forfl A BATIK SCULPTURE by Pam Etter, senior, attracts the attention of Lisa J. Howe, and Mabel Bronson, freshmen. Several senior art shows occupied the hallway outside the Baldwin art gallery during February. Senior Louis Claps, commercial art major, had also worked a long time for his senior art show. HThe show is a Chance for the student to show his best work after four years of school, he said. HThe pieces that are shown should be your very best. Claps said he picked pieces he thought would best represent him and that fit with what he thought the faculty wanted. He said the entire art faculty judges each show. They look for originality, presentation and pieces that students worked on outside of Class. III think they want to see how well you can talk about your work and why you Chose itf, Claps said. Claps said his show was different because he is a commercial art major and works more with graphic design instead of the more traditional work of a painter. His works were geared toward commercial purposes; much of it consisted of doing layout and paste-up work. Because of the differences between commercial and traditional art, Claps said that the art depart- ment is considering changing the senior show requirement for com- mercial art majors. Instead of ex- hibiting their work, they would sub- mit a portfolio of their work to be judged. Claps favored this idea. iiIf they change it, I think it would be good for everybody. It would be more beneficial because you have to have a portfolio ready when you go out looking for a job? oECHO -....N..p - .y . Curt Matten son, senior, B.A. in Creative Photography ItArtts so much dif- ferent in the time involved. Its not like any other Class. Its very open ended, and theres always something to learn. Youire never done studying art. It takes up your whole life. Its not the kind of thing where you can just dip into it and learn it and walk away. Youlre never done learning. I think they tthe faeultyt are extremely good at get- ting down and with you one to one. Theylve been able to single you out and sit down and work with l7 you. Fine Arts 1 7'
