The Art Courses Because of the demand for beauty in bus iness to­

day and a desire for higher standards and better design and workmanship in the commercial and in­dustrial fields, the Madison Vocationa l School has found it necessary to incorporate art ,courses into its regular curriculum. .

The a im of the Art Department is first} to give each 3tudent an understanding of the art principles in order that he may be better able to succeed in the vocation he has chosen; second} to broaden and rnl'ich his backgl'ound through the appreciation of the beautiful in his environment; and th ird, to de­velop a civic pride,

VOCATIONAL ART

Fol' the benefit of those students, who} in t he find­ing COUl'ses pl'eviously pursned have shown mar.ked ability in the elementary courses of Design ana Commercial Art and who desire to continue in ' .. )1'

to transfer to the Art Department} Vocational Art Courses are offcl'ed.

The courses consist of demonstra tions, informa­tion sheets and specific laboratory projects which in_ corporate the underlying' fundamental principles of the subject tog'ether with colO1', design, technique, and correct manipulation of tools and materials, This knowledge provides for the stuclent, not only' an appreciation of all Art, but gives him a broader and more enriched background and a better under­standing of definite problems,

This course is supplemented by iBustJ,'ative ma­t erials, trips to the Hi storical Library and the Cap­ito l to study masterpieces of painting, sculpture, and archi tecture,

In all trade-finding courses the stress is laid on opportunities available in each trade rather than de­velopment of the skH1s l'equired in it. Typical trade projects are worked out j processes in each trade :u:c studied, and visits in industries are made, The stu­dent is given information regarding working condi­tions, seasons of work" safety and hygiene, and lines of promot 'ion.

A year of exploratory work together with n year of trade preparatory work on a haH-time 01' ful1-time arrangement gives the student sufficient back~ ground so that he can enter industry and be reason­ably assured of becoming suecessful in his field of work. During this period of time the range of wOl'k provided in each one of the major shops is sufficient to give the boy a good idea of what the work is like and also to develop in him such a degTee of skill as to make him an asset to his employer. In case a boy

, [26]

The Art Courses Because of the demand for beauty in bus iness to­

day and a desire for higher standards and better design and workmanship in the commercial and in­dustrial fields, the Madison Vocationa l School has found it necessary to incorporate art ,courses into its regular curriculum. .

The a im of the Art Department is first} to give each 3tudent an understanding of the art principles in order that he may be better able to succeed in the vocation he has chosen; second} to broaden and rnl'ich his backgl'ound through the appreciation of the beautiful in his environment; and th ird, to de­velop a civic pride,

VOCATIONAL ART

Fol' the benefit of those students, who} in t he find­ing COUl'ses pl'eviously pursned have shown mar.ked ability in the elementary courses of Design ana Commercial Art and who desire to continue in ' .. )1'

to transfer to the Art Department} Vocational Art Courses are offcl'ed.

The courses consist of demonstra tions, informa­tion sheets and specific laboratory projects which in_ corporate the underlying' fundamental principles of the subject tog'ether with colO1', design, technique, and correct manipulation of tools and materials, This knowledge provides for the stuclent, not only' an appreciation of all Art, but gives him a broader and more enriched background and a better under­standing of definite problems,

This course is supplemented by iBustJ,'ative ma­t erials, trips to the Hi storical Library and the Cap­ito l to study masterpieces of painting, sculpture, and archi tecture,
