ARI THE ART PROGRAM OFFERED BY CLARKE IS ONE OF THE MOST COMPREHENSIVE TO BE FOUND IN A HIGH SCHOOL. REALIZING THE VALUE OF ART IN A SCIENTIFIC WORLD, THE ADMINISTRATION HAS PLANNED A PROGRAM WHICH CATERS TO THE INDIVIDUAL'S NEEDS AND TALENTS. AFTER COMPLETING THE PREREOUISITE OF BASIC ART, STUDENTS MAY CHOOSE FROM A GREAT VARIETY OF COURSES IF THEY DESIRE TO MAJOR OR MINOR IN ART. THOSE INTERESTED IN BECOMING PROFICIENT IN MECHANICAL DRAWING OR CRAFTS HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO DO SO. STUDENTS ENROLLED IN THE VOCATIONAL PROGRAM TAKE CLASSES RELATED TO THEIR AREAS OF CONCENTRATION. NOT ONLY IS THE PRACTICAL APPLICATION OF TECHNIQUE TAUGHT, BUT THE FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLES AND HISTORY OF ART ARE GIVEN DUE ATTENTION. FILMS AND FIELD TRIPS SUPPLEMENT CLASSROOM INSTRUCTION. THIS PROGRAM ENDEAVORS TO ACOUAINT THE STUDENT WITH ART AS A MEANS OF EXPRESSION AND ENIOYMENT, IN ADDITION, IT STRESSES THE IMPORTANCE OF ART IN CONTEMPORARY LIVING. -W4 Pl G' 2 I -1 I' if A ,Q I I I I Mr. William Witkowsky, Mr. Dante Ferraro, Mr. James Ruhins Ichairmanl, Mr. Howard Goldstein, Mr. Roy Siegel P
