This year West Mesa had a large art department but it still couldnt keep up with the enthusiastic demand for art courses. In addition to the regular art forms for first to fourth year students, some teachers emphasized the making of such things as pinatas and ojos. The unique part of all was to have Crafts HI and IV participants do their own thing, especially make their own silver and tur- quoise jewelry. All equip- ment was on hand but sup- plies were short at times Students used these skills and created many beauti- ful objects such as rings, bracelets, and chokers. Regular art classes were something else, too, because if you ever stippled or cross- hatched your artistic in- telligence is a cut above the average. I ............g 75 ,, , 5 -Q y 1 .
