Saturday  Junior  Classes  are  for  boys  and  girls 
who  love  to  draw  and  paint.  We  believe  that 
the  right  teacher  "guides"  rather  than  instructs. 
He  is  understanding,  inspiring.  He  taps  the  cre- 
ative force  of  the  child  who  then  rushes  into 
action.  The  teacher  will  not  judge  the  child's 
sketches  by  adult  standards,  but  he  will  sug- 
gest and  criticize  so  that  the  student  can  grow 
in  power  and  taste.  The  student  learns  to  use 
criticism  constructively;  to  work  patiently.  He 
also  learns  to  choose,  to  see  and  to  appreciate. 
Students  are  placed  according  to  age,  experi- 
ence, and  interest.  In  each  class  they  learn 
drawing,  composition  and  color.  Subject  matter 
varies.  We  build  background  as  well  as  art  ex- 
pression. The  primary  class  paints  and  models 
its  own  age  world.  The  next  age  groups  study 
this  world  more  closely.  One  group  meets  at 
the  zoo.  Natural  History  Museum,  or  gardens, 
to  sketch  animals  or  flowers.  One  class  explores 
the  France  of  Roland  and  Oliver  —  horses, 
country,  customs.  Another  studies  Medieval 
England  —  castles,  monasteries,  Beowulf,  Robin 
Hood.  Ulysses  and  his  adventures  come  alive 
as  another  class  studies  the  Odyssey.  The  Vi- 
kings challenge  still  another  class  as  they  find 
out  about  their  boats,  halls  and  ways  of  living. 

Crafts  with  work  in  copper,  clay,  and  other 
material  engage  the  interest  of  many  students.

Experimental  Design  is  just  what  the  title  indi- 
cates. In  the  care  of  an  inspiring  teacher  the 
students  cut,  paste,  draw,  letter,  erect  and 
paint. 

Drawing  of  the  figure  is  seriously  studied  by 
one  class,  and  so  is  water  color  in  another. 

There  are  two  fashion  groups.  After  figure 
study,  one  of  these  does  fashion  sketching, 
while  the  other  studies  period  costume  at  the 
Museum  and  then  sketches  original  costumes 
for  today's  use.  An  older  group  studies  illustra- 
tion including  various  media  and  special 
problems. 

We  feel  that  experience  in  all  these  classes, 
which  are  specifically  designed  for  children,  is 
of  Interest  and  value  to  alt  children,  and 
furnishes  on  invaluable  foundation  for  study  In 
the  Art  School  If  the  student  plans  an  art  career. 

Our  program  is  conducted  by  teachers  who 
are  trained  to  work  with  children  up  to  eigh- 
teen years  of  age.
