5. Free Hand Drawing.—This course is fundamental in character and aims
to show in a direct manner: How to draw; how to teach drawing; and how to use
drawing. Special attention is given to blackboard drawing, chalk modeling, and
how to draw nearly all common objects that are and can be used to advantage
in the classroom. Primary and grammargrade drawing are special features of this
course. Under these heads will be given drawing from memory and the imagination,
action drawing, two-handed drawing; the drawing of trees, birds, animals, the
human head and figure, as well as methods of teaching each one.

Daily, from 9.45 to 10.45. Professor Augsburg, and Assistant. Mechanical
Laboratory.

6. Color Work.—The course in water colors includes brush drawing and wash
drawing. In general this subject will be divided into three lines of work: learning
color; painting objects; picture making.

(a) Learning Color.—The only way to learn color is to work in color—to use
color. This is done systematically through a progressive series of washes which,
in addition to the teaching of color, at the same time includes all the mechanical
difficulties of working in color.

(b) Painting objects is simply what the name implies, painting or making studies
of the common objects which can be used in the class-room to the best advantage
such as: Fruits,—apples, pears, plums, grapes and cherries; vegetables,—radishes,
carrots, cucumbers, pumpkins and gourds; flowers,—sweet peas, poppy, marguerites,
pansy, rose, daffodil, and violet; grasses,—clover, sorrel, flax, etc.; trees,—especially
the oak, poplar; buds and leaves of the most simple and common kinds; pottery of
simple form and bright colors; birds in the form of mounted specimens, also butterflies;
bits of landscape, such as a stump, log, large stone, gate, etc.

(c) Picture Making.—Under this head will be taken up: How to make pictures,
the composition, light and shade, color values, shade values, and by keeping these
separate, show, by actual demonstration, how each one may be represented.

Daily, from 4.30 to 5.30. Professor Augsburg and Assistant. Cabell Hall,
Room 4.
