5. Drawing for Elementary School Teachers.—The details and adjustment
of the course will be determined by the instructors from day to day. In general
the course will cover the following topics: Flower Study—analysis and free expression,
ink painting, pencil and crayon handling in outline and mass (water color),
pictorial composition; conventionalization and translation—motifs and applications of
same for some definite purpose; landscape composition, in which the principles of
space division will be clearly demonstrated in charcoal pencil massing, ink washes
and water color; design composition—principles of balance, harmony of rhythm, color
and use; blackboard sketching; pose and figure study—use in the elementary schools;
still life study, with special attention to selection and placing, using charcoal crayon
pencil and water color, with application of same to picture making and design; demonstrations
and student work in constructions for primary grades; general application—
making and decorating various forms of booklets and magazine covers, laundry mats,
library desk furnishing, etc., and stenciling for mats, pillow tops, curtains, etc.

Text-Books.—The Prang system of drawing.

6. Drawing for Teachers of Primary and Grammar Grades.—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, broad way, objects suitable
for class room practice and use. The 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. Under the head of composition and
design, parts of plants and flowers will be studied, conventionalized and idealized.
Painting and water color will include such subjects and objects as are usually treated
in the common school course. Instruction in drawing will be combined with methods
of teaching.

Section I. Daily, from 4:30 to 5:30; Section II. Daily, from 9:30 to 10:30.

7. General Course in Drawing.—This course will include a study of nature
forms, object study, perspective, composition drawing, picture study, simple instrumental
drawing, etc. It will be the aim of the course to make the work very
practical.
