THE VIRGINIA SUMMER SCHOOL OF ART.

FIFTH SESSION.

Ten weeks, June 22nd, to August 28 inclusive.

F. Graham Cootes, M. A., Founder and Director.

Duncan Smith, M. A., Instructor.

The Object of this school is to furnish Southern students, at a
minimum expense, practical instruction in drawing and painting, according
to the methods of the very best New York and Parisian
schools, with the additional great advantage of more personal attention
than is given at any other art school.

The Course is particularly designed for those desirous of making
a profession of portrait, landscape and decorative painting, illustrating,
cartooning and the designing of posters and advertisements. It will
also be of great benefit to teachers and those who are interested in art
for their own pleasure.

Beginners will receive special attention. No previous experience
will be required for entrance to the school. The instruction is entirely
individual and adapted to the particular needs and advancement
of the student.

A Model in Costume poses every morning, except Saturday, in the
large studio. The afternoons are devoted to landscape work.
