An artist spends much of his time at the easel. It is liere lie learns most about space, hnes of force, and color, as well as the other rides and theories of art. Westminster ' s art department aets as the center for major poster work and e.xhibitions on campns. Despite a serions decrease in the niun- ber of courses offered, and a reduction in the number of faculty members, the department has maintained its status as a major field. Mr. George Faddis, head of the department, instructs courses in elementary drawing and fine arts. He also teaches beginning and advanced painting, general art history, elementary art edu- cation, and seiuinar. Not all these courses are for majors alone. Alpha Uho Tan, national art honorary, spon- sors a dance each year. This year ' s Beaux Arts Ball was planned as an all-college affair, but because of a conflict in schedules, it was post- poned until a later time. The honorary is in charge of all exhibitions in the library. Each year art students display outstanding paintings, sculpture, and hand-craft. Mr. Faddis also shows some of his own works of the year. Other exhibits include reproductions of interna- tinoally known artists ' works. W, George Faddis A.B., PennsyK ania; A.M., Pennsylvania; Professor of Art, Chairman o Department
