In ar, and Musical Circles.

Work In the Seattle Art league and
School OF Design Is broadening in scope
so that II now includes operations never
before attempted on the Coast outside OF
San Francisco. Among the novelties in
this direction Is the making Of full length
ztatuary from life The casting OF
figure OF this kind will be commenced to-
morrow. u viii be completed BY Christ
mas and would prove one OF the attrae-
lions for the public reception day OF this
month had Il not been decided to omit the
usual entertainment because of the day
falling on Christmas On the last Friday
Of January. however. the usual reception
will be held. In the meantime visitors Will
BE- welcome 20 the studio and art gallery
every afternoon Academic work is pro-
crossing. apd by next month lie class
figure work will be energetieaily pushed,
remarkably fins models having been pro-
cured for the purpose. The lecture on
Tuesday evening last was purely schol
ssiie. dealing with linear and aerial per-
spective and showing BY blackboard illus
tfatlon the effect OF mlsplacing the hori-
xcn line as would follow By following
the directions of John c. Van Dyke In his
tosk on Art for Arts Sake" The plac-
ing OF that line below the point OF sight
threw the landscape down hill a. 10 re-
ceded, Without knowing the cause the
artist would see the effect without being
able TO remedy Il. No well~informed ar
list would ever divorce his horizontal line
from his point OF sight. which Is rarely
his only vanishing point. as IL is stated 10
BE- BY Van Dyke, who ccnfuses smoke.
fog. dirt. etc. with atmosphere AEsun-
Ing that the atmosphere is frequently
charged with these. Il IL absurd TO hold
that a rare and pure atmosphere not thus
charged Is not atmosphere. and that pic
lures representing landscapes with such
pure air are without atmospheric effect.
IS Van Dyke holds that many OF Turner'S.
Poussrn's and Claude's are. The lecture
On Tuesday evening next WA be by Mrs
John c Hogan. These lectures commence
st TO o'clock and are only about one-half
hour long, Artists. teachers and students
