AS220's Visual Art Class at the RITS 
In~AS220's Friday afternoon Visual Art class at the . 
RITS, students are learning fundamental..drawing skills 
such as form, line, and shading. Bert Crenca, Artistic 
DirectQrof AS220 and the instructor of the Visual_Art

the class.Be commented, "I like using my skills in 
other areas of art-not just theater-and learning 
things about different kinds of art." Victor feels that 
mastering drawing skills such as shading is the biggest 
challenge he 'faces in the class, but says that the most 
valuable thing he has learned is the importance of 
practice. He said, "You have to keep practicing and 
you'll get better. When I first went into the class I 
wasn't that good, but I've gotten better." 
Crenca helps students develop these fundamental

Terms and Conditions for the Arts Program for the Training School

Since  evil  has become a term much in vogue in our current political climate, it seems ever more important to explore its psychic meanings and origins. What, first of all, do analysts and therapists mean by the word  evil ? The grandiosity of the term, as well as its traditionally religious connotations, perhaps make it unsuited to the therapeutic context.
