Creativity Behind Prison Bars by Jackie Young world of men who The live behind bars is not easily defined. As an English and foreign language professor, I find that teaching and learning in a prison environment is both challenging and rewarding for the teacher as well as for the students. According to Len Stults, an inmate a the Central Utah Correctional Facility in Gunnison, There are inmates that actually prefer prison life to the life of responsibilities they would face on the streets. There are inmates who wear their prison number like a badge of their machismo or as recognition for their advance- Heidi Christiansen day-to-d- ay Suzanne Olsen Stephanie Kjar Laune Anderson The Sanpete County Dairy Princess Pageant will be held this Friday, May sixth, at Gunnison Valley High School.

However, the majority of inmates accept their incarceration as just punishment for wrongful deeds and try to make the best of a lengthy stay at the Grey-Bar HoteL In 1991, Central Utah Academy (CUA), die educational branch of the Central Utah Correctional Facility, instituted a comprehensive art program at the prison. Two inmates, Len Stults and Dean Christensen, worked with Robert MacGillivray, the Head Education Administrator of CUA, in developing an art program for the inmates. Mr. Christensen was transferred to the Draper facility shortly after inception of this art program, leaving Mr. Stults to carry on. Mr. Stults is a mechanic on the streets and rarely has the time to do any art work. However, he worked on his degree while attending Cen- - Women's Softball Trying to start a slow-pitc- h Women's League.

The full art program developed at CUCF includes clay sculpture, water colors, pointillism, basic drawing, acrylics, oils, picture matting and framing, charcoal, pastels, air brush, drafting and design, and model building. To be added soon are silk screening, broadloom weaving, beadwork and music appreciation. Mr. Stultss goal is to keep the art program interesting and to keep the inmates busy with something that is constructive and productive. A unique aspect to the art program is what is called Open Art, a period when inmates can do their own thing (within reason) without being told what to do. The challenge for Mr. MacGillivray and Mr. Stults is to be security conscious at all times, especially when ordering art materials. Mr. MacGillivray emphasizes that Art gives these men an opportunity to complete projects and, ultimately, gives them a sense of fullness. Ait and crafts have greatly influenced the lives of inmates since more free time is dedicated to creative produc tivity and less time to destructive, negative behavior. Mr. Carl Purcell, professor at Snow College and nationally-know- n watercolor artist, has taught several art classes at CUCF. Our hope with inmates, he says, is that they will be motivated to open their minds and see the vision of what their possibilities are. I am reminded of a saying that hangs on my office door: Mans mind stretched by a new idea never goes back to its original di- And education and programming allow these men to stretch their minds and do something with their lives."

An inmate wi look at a paint brush and see creativity awaiting release. Another inmate will pick up a pen and see creativity flowing on paper. Still another will pick up a tool and build a beautiful piece of furniture. In the long run, do we all benefit from creativity behind bars? You be the judge! Manti Arts Council News by Karen Buchanan Well, we are down to the last, the littlest ones. The display at the Gallery from now until the end of school features the first grade and kindergarten artists. What a delight to see what these little children have created! The Arts Council has been so pleased with the displays from the Manti Elementary School. The children have loved creating wonderful art for the public to enjoy, and the teachers and visiting artists have given many extra hours and worked hard to make the Childrens Show a reality. There is no possible way to express our gratitude to all who have been involved as we look at the guest bock and know that so many of the Gallery patrons have loved the dis- play; and then see the look in a childs eyes and hear, Look, Mommy, this ones mine!" or, See, Grandpa, what I did! So, all we can say is, Thank you, and promise that we will try to make the Childrens Show a tradition in our community. As we approach summer, the Gallery will be open one more day start- ing this week, Tuesday through Thursday, 3:30 until 6:00, and Friday and Saturday, 2:00 until 6:00.
