The art classes help to develop the students' interests in art and their ability to put their own ideas into the varied art forms. In Art I, commercial art and classic art is studied, and the students learn the different categories in which art is used. They also learn the different methods by which art is produced. In Art II, the students become more involved in art and learn the deeper and more technical skills of it. Every year the art students at Union further their interest in art by participation in a contest at Winchester. Landscape drawing comprise a major area of art al l'nion. 23
