DRAWING.
The courses in drawing are planned to give the teachers of
primary, grammar, and high school grades, and supervisors a practical
knowledge of drawing and art, as now given in the modern progressive
schools. The purpose will not only be to give facility in
representing form, but also the study of design, composition, pictorial
and imaginative drawing, both still life and landscape, and to suggest
definite ways and means for teaching drawing in the class room.
Attention is particularly called to the fact that the courses have been
made to cover two years thus giving an opportunity for more advanced
and thorough work. An attempt will be made to adapt the
courses to the needs of all applicants, and especially to the need of
those teachers who fancy that they cannot draw.
1. Freehand Drawing.—This course is especially designed, not
only for those who need a thorough drill in the fundamentals of
freehand drawing to assist them as teachers, but also, for those who
are anticipating further study of art. Perspective, necessary to a
clear understanding of representative drawing, will be considered at
first, and its relation to art study demonstrated in the lessons which
follow. The course will include the drawing of single objects and
groups of still life, the figure, plant and flower forms, trees and
landscape, in line, in tones, and in color using pencil, brush, and
ink; charcoal and color. Special emphasis will be placed upon composition.
Much of the work will be done out of doors. Those taking
this course are expected to enter the classes in lettering which
will be formed at hours most convenient for those concerned.
Daily, from 8:30 to 9:30. Professor Bement and Professor Grant.
Mechanical Laboratory, Room 2.
2. Methods in Free Hand Drawing for High School Teachers and
Supervisors.—This course is designed to meet the needs of those
who have had experience in teaching drawing, and who desire to
study different methods of presenting the subject to pupils in high
school grades. The following topics will be treated: teaching of
color; drawing from the figure; drawing from still life; composition;
lettering and its relation to advertising; color in advertising; color
in interior decoration; design, the conventialization of flower and
plant forms; units of design, borders, patterns; stenciling; clock
printing; tone studies; out-of-door sketching; constructive design;
working drawing; other topics which may be of interest.
Section I, daily, from 9:30 to 10:30. Professor Bement and Professor
Grant. Mechanical Laboratory, Room 2.
Section II, daily, from 12:15 to 1:15. Miss Shepherd. Mechanical
Laboratory, Room 1.
3. Advanced Drawing for Public School Teachers.—This course is
offered for those who have had at least one summer's work in drawing
at the University or its equivalent. It will include pose drawing
from life, with charcoal and crayon, and drawing as related to geography,
history, botany, and other school subjects; lectures on the
appreciation of pictures, school decoration, etc., drawings of plants
and flowers; conventionalization of flower, plant, and animal forms,
and their use in design. Those who desire to do so may study composition
under the direction of the instructor in out door sketching
in pencil, charcoal and water color.
Daily, from 3:30 to 4:30. Professor Blair. Mechanical Laboratory,
Room 1.
4. Advanced Drawing and Design.—This course is offered for
those who have had at least one summer's work in drawing at the
University, and for those who can show qualifications satisfactory to
the instructor. Members of this class are expected to enter the
classes in lettering, if possible, which will be formed at the convenience
of all concerned. Work will be done in pencil, charcoal and
color, from still life objects, from the figure, from the landscape and
from flowers and plants. Other topics for consideration in this class
will be as follows: composition in line, dark and light, and color;
out-of-door sketching in pencil and charcoal; natural forms and their
relation to design; units of design, borders, patterns, stenciling,
block printing; color study and its application to advertising and to
interior decoration.
Daily, from 4:30 to 5:30. Professor Bement and Professor Grant.
Mechanical Laboratory, Room 2.
5. Methods in Free Hand Drawing for Grammar School Teachers.—
This course is designed to meet the needs of those primary and
grammar grade teachers who have some knowledge of drawing, and
who wish to study different methods of presenting the subject applicable
to their pupils. The following subjects will be considered:
blackboard drawing; drawing in chalk, crayola, and India ink; picture
study; school decoration; working drawings; composition; out-of-door
sketching; other topics for which time may be found.
Section I, daily, from 4:30 to 5:30. Professor Blair. Mechanical
Laboratory. Room 1.
Section II, daily, from 10:30 to 11:30. Miss Shepherd. Mechanical
Laboratory, Room 1.
6. Drawing for Teachers of Primary Grade.—In this course instruction
will be given in blackboard drawing, in which particular
emphasis will be laid upon drawing rapidly and accurately, in a bold,
mediums used will include chalk, charcoal, water colors, crayola, and
India ink. Mounted specimens of animals, birds, and fishes from the
Museum, to which access is given, afford a most valuable and interesting
variety of subjects for daily practice. Painting and water
color will include such subjects and objects as are usually treated in
the common school course.
Section I, daily, from 8:30 to 9:30. Professor Blair. Mechanical
Laboratory, Room 1.
Section II, daily, from 3:30 to 4:30. Miss Shepherd. Mechanical
Laboratory, Room 2.
7. Lettering.—Classes in lettering will be formed to meet at the
times most convenient for students and instructor. Progress in these
classes will be as rapid as the work of the individual will admit.
After a thorough consideration of alphabets of large and small letters,
with several practical exercises, the work will be applied to the
designing of monograms, announcements, mottoes, notices, simple
posters and headings to be used on bulletin boards, on portiolios,
and note books. Whenever possible problems of individual interest
will be worked out.
Daily, from July 3d to 26th. Professor Grant.
8. History of Art.—This is a lecture course and is open to all
students in drawing and all are expected to attend. The lectures will
be on the following topics: architecture, historic ornament and design;
Raphael's School of Athens; Great Painters of the World with lantern
slides.
Daily, from 5:30 to 6:30. Professor Blair. Mechanical Laboratory,
Room 1.
