Architectural Building and Equipment: The School of Art and Architecture
is housed in Fayerweather Hall, formerly the old gymnasium. The
main gymnasium floor has been converted into faculty offices and a large drafting
room for instruction in architectural drawing and design. Over the offices is a
balcony arranged for group criticisms, judgment of student drawings and small
exhibitions. The ground floor is occupied by two studios for water-color and
freehand drawing work, the Fine Arts Library, a small classroom and business
office. The large classes have their lectures and classroom exercises in other
University buildings.
The library contains three thousand books and bound periodicals on painting,
sculpture, architecture and the related minor arts. Additional books on philosophy
of art, archaeology, the theatrical and musical arts are in other school libraries.
The best of American and European architectural and art periodicals are subscribed
to. A well-selected collection of slides and photographs for History of
and still-life objects necessary for teaching freehand drawing and water-colour
as well as equipment for instruction in various black and white mediums. A gift
by John Barton Payne of etchings by masters is owned by the University. A
permanent collection of architectural drawings and water-colours for student inspiration
is exhibited on walls. All the printed documents relating to Virginia
Colonial Architecture are on the library shelves and a rapidly increasing collection
of photographs on the same subject is being formed. Opportunities for
original research in Virginia Colonial and Classical Revival Architecture are
afforded by the neighborhood surrounding Charlottesville.
