We look at Pablo Picassos work and notice he put the Weeping Womans eyeball on her cheek, says Payne, 17, a student at South Sevier High, 165 miles south of Salt Lake City. These days, however, she exchanges opinions with others besides her classmates in art appreciation: 28 college and other students in New Zealand, Europe and across the United States offer comments via the Internet Amanda and 10 South Sevier elassmates are among a growing fiumber of Utah students using Utahs EDNET television link, or die Internet to take classes not otherwise available. Often they receive high school and college credit . EDNET offers 117 classes to public schools alone in the state. They are taught via an interactive TV network at 87 schools or sites and allow students to ask questions and get answers. The number of students tuning in to EDNET classes has climbed sharply from 1,100 in 1991 to 5,623 last year. And more, especially in rural areas, may do likewise as teachers turn to EDNET or the Internet to handle some classes. Payne and her classmates have been taking Art Appreciation 101 via the Internet from Southern Utah University.

Advantages have included which she uses to keep in touch with her four sisters and brother. South Sevier teacher Drew Wallace says art appreciation is the first EDNET class offered at the school via the Internet. The class is taught by SUU professor Lydia Johnson. She has a syllabus online and students get assignments, view the art to be discussed and type in their comments, he notes. South Sevier offers three classes a day to its 480 students via including Russian, psychology and English. The EDNET has helped us. One of our advanced math teachers is retiring, so we are going to offer it on EDNET, Wallace says. Art appreciation class members say despite computer problems at times, it is a fun way to learn. It is cool being able to write your opinions and get others back, says Samantha Stillman, 17.
