Art Department When Stout was in its infancy, Interior Decoration and Artistic Home Furnish- ings were the titles given to the courses which included work in art. Today the art courses are correlated with other home economics work, too. In the first year stu- dents are taught the principles of art in their relation to the home and home fur- nishings. Advanced art work is offered in classes in creative art, crafts, sketch and art history. [18]

In the first year work is begun by studying clothing selection and construction. In the second year, each student is required to take an advanced clothing course. Other work is elective and may include courses in applied dress design, children ' s ciothing, clothing eco- nomics, clothing problems, or history of clothing. [17]
