Show Thursday, December 2. 1982 Uintah Basin Standard (UJSntah EBasin 6 Education Standard schools will add dimension Art in th Just exactly what is art? Why is it taught in our local schools? These questions were asked of art instructor Kristy King at the Roosevelt junior high as she was surrounded by a classroom full of seventh graders pasting cutout pictures on poster paper. Its more than fun! Its work! stated King. She said she pushes her students, especially those who have the skills and motivation needed to excell in art She explained she doesnt make everybody an artist but teaches all students a respect and a perspective for art and the message it is trying to get across. I wonder what he was thinking about when he painted that or made that should be going through students minds when they look at a piece of art," she said. Kristy teaches basic art, weaving, macramae, drawing and pottery at the Jr. high. She explained seventh grade students as just starting to recognize depth and begin to draw depth in a picture. These seventh graders start working with a little color and spend time drawing figures in proportions. They will also start mixing specific skills with their imaginations thus encouraging their creative abilities. In junior high, everybody draws similar things either objects or ideas. They are really afraid to be different. King encourages creativity especially in the pottery department as the student is rally unable to copy ano then ideas exactly. I try to get them to think for themselves and say my idea is all right, said Kristy. The 8th and 9th graders are able to enter into the drawing classes. This class is much more involved as its uses various mediums the student can use to draw with. Ink, water colors, and scratch boards are introduced to the students and they gain some experience with all of them. Painting is not used, especially on the jr. high level, because of the costs but they get the backinvolved, ground they need to be more sure of themselves when they do start, she said. Not all students excell in the same art fields as some will be great at drawing and sketching, but cant do anything with pottery. For these reasons the pottery and macramae classes are offered. There is no fee charged for the liasic art classes and the drawing classes. There is a $15 charge for the pottery class but the student is required to make at least 30 pieces in the semester so that charge is rally nominal. The weaving and macramae classes have a lab fee of $20. Kristy explained that it was important for a student to define their likes and dislikes in art as well aa be exposed to many kinds of art Each student has his or her own feelings about art when they look at it and it is important to recognize these feelings and to define than to oneself. "You can inform people on art like abstract art They dont have to like it hut just better understand it, said Kristy.
