It is made of plastic toy cogs and odds and ends found at home. The question mark and dollar sign are interpreted by some to be results of man's thinking. classroom. Some collect with a definite idea in mind.

One girl is doing a pop art piece on Czechoslovakia. Others just assemble what they find in waste paper baskets and drawers and decide later what they are making. James Bond, the late Ian Fleming's dashing hero, is the subject of a combined work of pop art and collage, the assembling of printed material on one surface. The collage shows pictures of British Secret Service Agent 007 pasted on gold painted cardboard. The pop art is a gun extending from the hero's hand.

When completed the student and an older brother added a bit more Bond to it they shot holes in it. One pasteboard box, wrapped in a red and white checked cloth, holds a plastic drinking cup, an assortment of pill bottles, a toothbrush, an empty cough drop box, artificial flowers, cotton, a thermometer case and a get well card.

For out of these and other seemingly useless items, a Mary Institute student has made (if that is how you say it) a piece of pop art.

Shortly thereafter, Georges Braque used newsprint in adrawing and Juan Gris used mirrors and photographs. Mrs. Schweig says pop art is relaxing after hard work.

The art program at the school includes drawing, painting in water colors and oils, sculpture and ceramics. The girls are also looking at examples of "op" art. Op means optical illusions. So far none have attempted op. Some students confessed they have not tried pop art.

"I don't appreciate It" and "It's silly" were reasons they gave. But Mrs. Schweig says, "We keep up with the trends In art. If they try It themselves, they understand it."
