1963 Miracle Yearbook

Art The artist reproduces and portrays that which he per- ceives. Capturing life in its grandeur and simplicity, he shows the beauty of the commonplace — as well as the ugliness in reality. His tools are the pencil and pen, thebrush and palette, a drawing board, a canvas. Through these handguided instru- ments he freezes in time that which would otherwise melt from memory. Unity, design, and motion are characteristic of life and must necessarily be incorporated in his re-creation of it. Here, in his course of study, he continues his natural talent with technical study and constant practice. This, he believes, will make him truly an artist. A corrective stroke, a perfected image. As patterns are fitted together, the abstract becomes concrete. James Russell A.B., B.D., M.A. 39
