THE VIRGINIA SUMMER SCHOOL OF ART.

SIXTH SESSION.

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

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

This School offers art instruction comparable to that of the best
Northern summer schools with the additional great advantage of
more personal attention than is given in any other art school. The
standard of the Schools has been steadily raised and every effort will
be made to continue this policy.

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.

A scholarship, consisting of free tuition for one term, is offered
to the Richmond Art League.

The name of the Instructor will be announced later in a special
prospectus, which may be had upon application to
