Emphasis on the creative approach and the inventive point of view is the most outstanding aspect of the depart­ ment of fine arts. The competent, talented instructors who teach your children at W.S.c. have tried to be prog.·essive and utilize the best in modern theory and practice. Natur­ ally, everything modern has its roots in the past and the student needs to know much about the art forms from which the modern has evolved. This is the theory practiced by Professor Griffin when teaching the neophite. The experimental and modern nature of art encouraged in all classes has been instrumental in attracting students to the State College of '~.rashington from all over the coun­ try. These same factors are also responsible for the steady growth in the enrollment of the department since 1933 when Professor Griffin became head of the department. At that time, the major enrollment in fine arts was approxi­

Page Ten powwow, May, 1947 Professor Griffin, in addition to his teaching and many other duties, is active in the production of creative work. He is a painter of both compositions and portraits. The largest single group of his paintings is owned by the State college and it is composed of about seventy portraits of historically important Indians and pioneer people of the Inland Empire. He is also represented in various public and private collections in Indianapoli s, Indiana; Chicago, Illinois, and Detroit, Michigan. The eight staff members exhibit their work each year in exhibitions on the pacific coast, in the middle west and east. Several of them have won prizes and wider recogni­ I tion for their work in paintings, sculpture and the design !I arts. By exhibiting their w ork art teachers become known beyond the narrow limits of the schools and communities in which they work. In this way they not only gain pro­ fessional recognition for themselves, but they attract fav­ orable attention to the institutions which employ them. Art cl asses, with an enrollment of 860 students this sem­ ester, are scattered all over the three fl oo. s of the Old Science building. The third floor, however, is devoted en­ tirely to this work. Space once occupied by the Conner Museum is now the Fine Arts Gallery where numerous circulating exhibitions are shown each year. Exhibitions are one of the educational facilities offered the art students, • and study of , exhibited work, is often required in certain classes. But the exhibitions are also enj oyed by the entire student body, as well as faculty. Preview receptions are held for the more important exhibitions. Once each year, student work from each of the classes is. displayed for a few weeks. What are the opportunities for graduates? Accol'ding to Dr. Griffin "about ninety percent of our graduates are gi rl s and they seem to be in great demand as wives of engin eers, scientists, teachers, veterinarians, etc. However, many of them carryon their work aft er marriage. Some .. become interested in CIVIC art projects such as exhibiting societies, and various other community cultural activities." Many graduates in art have becom e very successful as cartoonists, illustrators, painters, commercial artists, and designers. In cartooning, Ralph Penrose Lee, political car­ tooni st for the Portland Oregoni an until his premature death last December, was our most widely known graduate. Taking duplicate recognition, however, is Charles Ross Greening, '36. Charles has been noted for hi s paintings and cartoons during the war when he, while prisioner of the Germans, sponsored the Prisoner of War Exposition which toured the country last summer. Mrs. Jane Dunning Bald­ win, '32, Spokane, has been contributor to many national exhibitions. Jane is better known for prints. While on the campus, Jane was one of the founders of Delta Phi D elta, national art honorary. and served as the organization's first president. Other well known art graduates include: Arthur • Hargrave, '41 , commercial artist in Seattle; Betty Lisle, '45, advertising illustrator in Seattle with the Artcraft Engrav­ in g & Electrotype Co.; Ruth Kelsey, '27, who took her ') B.A. and master's degree in home economics and later at­ tended the U niversity of California and received a master's J degree in fin e arts. Ruth received a traveling scholarship last year by the University of California and is at the pres­ ent time traveling in South America stUd yin g and painting.
