DRAWING.

Professor Blair.

Miss Slaymaker.

The courses in drawing are planned to give all teachers of 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, with and without the
aid of a drawing book in the hands of a pupil. 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. Drawing for High School Teachers.—The topics treated in this
course will be as follows: Pictorial representation—plants and flowers,
landscape composition, still life composition; design—motif
building and translation, principles of rythm, balance and harmony,
the practical relation to industry; perspective; constructive and architectural
drawing; house decoration.

Text-Books.—The Prang system of drawing books, etc.

Daily, from 12:15 to 1:15. Miss Slaymaker. Mechanical Laboratory,
Room 1.

2. Advanced Drawing.—This course 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.; lectures on architecture, historic
ornament and design; special lectures on Raphael's School of
Athens, and Great Painters of the World, with lantern slides. Those
who desire to do so may study composition under the direction of
the instructor in out door sketching.

Daily, from 2:30 to 3:30. Professor Blair. Mechanical Laboratory,
Room 1.

3. Drawing for Supervisors.—This course is adapted to the needs
of supervisors and high school teachers. It will be similiar to Course
2, with the addition of mechanical drawing, embracing geometrical
instruction, projection, detailed and conventional drawing, tracing,
etc., suitable for high schools.

Daily, from 3:30 to 4:30. Professor Blair. Mechanical Laboratory,
Room 1.

4. General Course in Drawing.—This course is designed especially
for those desiring a general knowledge of the subject. It will include
such topics as pictorial composition, constructive design, decorative
design, color in design, lettering, and poster work. It will be the
aim to have the work of the course applied whenever practical.

Daily, from 8:30 to 9:30. Professor Grant. Mechanical Laboratory,
Room 1.
