In U' Students Demonstrate Artistic Skills By SANDRA CUTLER Using paint, cardboard, steel wool, wrought iron and other novel media, University art students make use of their unique creative ability. Freshmen art students begin their training by modeling- such objects as movable cardboard toys. Often representing nursery story characters, cartoons and imagina- tive figures, these toys are placed on a white paper background. These colorful objects are made movable by connecting the various parts to the background with pa- per bolts. Papier-Mache Figures Papier-mache figures comprise another interesting art project. Chicken wire, shaped and molded into different forms, serves as the skeleton. The character takes on a more realistic appearance when a newspaper and paste combination is placed around this skeleton. Ruffles, laces, pieces of cloth and colored paper create an illusion of clothes and ornamentation for the figure. Steel wool or straw may be used for the hair, while facial characteristics are painted on. In the final process, the figure is painted with tempra and shel- lacked, if desired. A Advertising Art Three-dimensional art for ad- vertising is also included in the various art projects. Photographs covered with zypotone are placed on balsa wood, forming a wide va- riety of attractive 3-D art. Art stu- dents have used this type of art in their classes to advertise travel. By creating these various objects students may learn how to use dif- ferent kinds of media correctly and effectively. Song Concert case of rain, alternate plans for dancing indoors have been made. Entertainment for the evening will be provided by John Bonino, the Ann Arbor Alley Cats and Paul McDonough. Open To All Admission is not restricted to residents of East Quad.
