Annual Report Of The Berkeley School Department With Rules Of The Board Of Education 1902 Classic Reprint PDF Download

Excerpt from Annual Report of the Berkeley School Department With Rules of the Board of Education, 1902 Dear sir: The results of the year's work in Drawing have been very satisfactory - due to the enthusiasm of the pupils and the conscientious presentation of the subject by the teachers. The Drawing done in the High School shows a marked improvement over that of last year. Our two large, well-lighted art-rooms, well-equipped for the students' use, have been a continual source of pleasure. Teachers' meetings have been held every two months, when outlines of the work were issued to the teachers of each grade and instruction was given on methods of presenting the les sons. A teachers' class was organized in the spring. This class met every Monday after school for lessons in water colors. An exhibit of the pupils' drawings, including work from all of the grades and also from the High School classes, was held in December. The art rooms in the new High School building are well adapted for such exhibitions. An interesting feature of the work was the illustrative drawings done by the pupils of the lower grades. The introduction of water colors this year aroused the inter est Oi the pupils to an unusual degree. The mediums used in our classes are pencil, chalk, charcoal, water colors and col ored crayon. The work in the lower grades has been almost entirely in color. Some excellent results were obtained. By using charcoal and chalk on dark cartridge paper.
