i PCs Youngest Art Students—Under 10 BY ADELAIDE GANTT About 25 of Presbyterian Col lege’s newest students are less than 10 years old. They are pupils of 11 enrolled students at PC. Both the regu lar students and their students are taking a new art course, “Art Education for the Elementary School Child.’ A prerequisite for a degree in elementary education, the sourse consists of making lesson plans in art and then prac ticing them, aided by children of the faculty and of other com munity residents. Mrs. Mary Anne Walker, in structor in art, teaches the course. “Actually, I’m just supervising now,’ she said. “We discussed lesson plans during the first half of the semester, and my students took over when the child ren came.* “We’ve divided the children in to three age groups -- four to five years, six to seven years, and eight, nine and 10 years. Each student will eventually teach each group.’ The class meets two afternoons weekly. Each of the three groups has a teacher for the afternoon plus several helpers, who are also members of the art educa tion class. “We have to supply more help ers than originally planned,’ Mrs. Walker said. “We’ve found that children, especially the youngest ones, not only require motivation but also someone nearby to show frequent ap proval.’ She added that they do not cri ticize the children’s works. Sev eral are very serious about each thing they do, laboriously fin ishing all details. Others seem to take out their frustrations on the projects, especially when given a brush and a few pots of paint. “Painting with brushes is a new experience for many of these children, even the older ones be cause there are no art classes in their schools.* Some lessons planned earlier in the semester have been dis carded because Mrs. Walker’s students have found that child ren prefer drawing in colors to black and white. Clay sculpture has also proved unpopular. “These children need a ma terial more like mud,’ Mrs. Walker said. “Sculpting clay is too hard.’ PURE ART Explaining that her 11 students have not many arts- and-crafts projects, she said, “We’re trying to stick to pure art -- drawing, painting and scul- ture --’because children get e- nough crafts in scouts and acti vities.’ The four and five year old are at the “scribble’stage, while those aged six to seven are al ways drawing trees and houses, Mrs. Walker said. The oldest group is involved with the tech nical aspects of what they’re creating. Everything must be right. Although elementary education majors at PC are required to take the new course, more than half of the first class is study ing other subjects. Two are ma joring in sociology, three in psy chology, two in Christian educa tion and one in English. Ellen Stewart of Wolverine, N.Y., sociology, believes she will work with culturally deprived children and the art education course will help. The two psychology majors, Mrs. Gail Pressau and Martha Ann Dubose, both of Clinton, need to study art education in order to obtain certification to teach special classes. Christian education major Mi riam Dingle of Summerville wants to be a church’s director Clinton Junior High News BY VIVIAN DAVE Monday, the seventh graders elected the president and vice president of the Student Council for next year. The forthcoming president will be Lana Stephens and Claude Crocker will be vice president. Someday soon the pre sent leaders, Beverly Tedards and Nancy Sadler, will leave their duties to Lana and Claude. Con gratulations are in order to these two new leaders and everyone is sure they will do a wonderful Job. As most of you know, Molly Glover will represent Laurens County in the state spelling bee. Everyone wishes her the best of luck and we are proud to have a county winner from Junior High. Several days ago Mrs. Patri cia Sease visited briefly at school. Her little girl was brought into the library by Mary Edith Fulmer. We all think little Shawn favors her mother. Mrs. Sease will be back Monday after sev eral weeks of absence. During Easter vacation, a few students enjoyed visiting. Nan cy Sadler, Margaret Macdonald and Mary Lynne McCrary went to the Steeplechase in Tyron.N.C. Debbie Grubb visited relatives in V irginia. Carol Dailey spent a few days at Bob Jones University. * * ♦ of Christian education and feels the course will be good back ground for working with church school students.
