bove: Laurie Walton, Below: Steve Gill. Q . f if gk. r -. ' if-5 as Kie- .--M n 1...f The Visual Arts Center has made me aware of some fascinating subjects. I have been exposed to many different artists, old mas- ters to new. I have also learned to work with various materials. Dusty and Janie do not spoon feed their students. They give what they know and have experiencedg I take what I can from their giving. There is a lot of enthusiasm and positive energy always flowing through the Visual -Arts Building. New ideas and new solutions to problems in the arts crop up every day. Dusty and Janie also show an interest in what students have to say about the arts. I have found the Visual Arts Center a pleasant learning place in which to spend my time. I also work in the Craftshop, a job that gives me the opportunity to progress as a potter. It's like killing two birds with one stone. I am given the chance to increase my skills as a potter as well as show others my skills. It is a learning and teaching experience. The Craftshop has great possibilities. Student participation is small, but those who do use the shop are dedicated. Students who come down here to try various crafts return if they enjoy what they are doing. The Craftshop is a community operation. It needs people to keep it running. I hope enthusiasm in the Craftshop continues to grow. Polly Sherrill

Janie McWhirter and Dusty Benedict, two new arrivals at Warren Wilson, have been dancing to a fast tune this year. Their dance takes place in the Visual Arts Center. Art students are stretching and leaping as well, with partners ranging from paintbrushes, pencils, and pastels, to melt- ed recycled metals, cloth constructed peo- ple, silkscreens, and clay. Classes taking place in the art department are rigorous and everyone seems to like it that way. We welcome the addition of these two people and the arrival of a strong arts program. Strength and dedication deserve to exer- cise themselves at W.W.C. in the visual arts. 4 'wr'-'K Kim Stewart 4 if P is ri ia .. 'Ti if fs fl F! i F i f Ea if Ee Y ss - f K .

It was simply the thought of a festival, a celebration, that inspired my interest. As I started work on the production Lovers and Foolsl began to realize the magic of Shakespeare. With a chance to share Shakespeare and his magic, a new awareness and excitement for the Renaissance era took hold. To be a part of a rekindling of spirit and art in the form of celebration was a special thing.
