fa . r' if' 1- . 17 A The bare room in the Art lab was dark except for the faint light that Hltered around the cracks of the windows. From inside the room came the soft sound of scraping tools and a slight padding noise. No, it wasnit burglary, or mice. It was the minute sounds of a new class in session. A class in sculpture in the dark, a course new to the Art department this year. Using nothing but their sense of touch as a yardstick, the students produce, in the dark, a clay representation of their per- ceptions. In still another class, not in the dark, however, students create in wood, plastic, leather, or glass a type of art known as mo- biles in which the relationships are con- stantly changing. These forms of sculpture have then, form in space and in time. Classes in commercial art are studying improved packaging techniques and practical adaptation of art to advertising. Creative design and color consideration, as they pertain to more effective advertisements, are studied. Crafts class takes a practical turn when elementary education majors learn to create paper mache animals and puppets. Posters around campus have taken on a professional look under the direction of art mayors. f Charles L. Dietz A.
