Art Notes
BY ELIZABETH wAGGONER

m HE art exhibitions in the public
and private schools of the city
II continue to absorb their full share
some of these is most ambitious.
Noticeably so was the work of the art
department of the Los Angeles high
school on exhibition last Friday. Much
of the work in portrait, carried out in
oils as we'll as charcoal pencil and
other media, the excellent little group
of landscapes shown, executed in oil,
water color and pastel, as well as
several pieces of modelling, seemed
problems sufficiently difficult for the
professional art school. A striking fea-
ture of the work in the modelling de-
partment under Miss Sterritt, was the
group of designs for the school annual,
executed in high relief. One of the
finest of these was Faculty" by II.
Kemp, a design for the heading of the
School Prophecy in the school annual,
a hooded skull quite Egyptian in feel
ing, was by F. Archer, the art editor of
Blue and Cold and another strong bit
of modelling was the lion in relief, bear
ing the signature of F. Stott. A group
of posters from the class of Mr. Ster-
rift made a most effective showing, the
series having for their subject Joan of
Arc, being very striking in character,
and the series from the operas were
most interesting, the La Boheme by
Rachel Daats being especially artistic
in treatment. The work in mechanical
and architectural drawing occupied two
rooms and was excellent, and another
room devoted to freehand drawing and
applied design as taught by Miss Edna
Gearhart and water colors from the
class of Miss Frances Gearhart made
an excellent showing
The six teachers associated with
Prof. McBurney in the art department
are anticipating a still wider field for
their endeavors when the art work is
transferred to the new building planned
for it.
The Girls Collegiate school held the
annual exhibit of work in the depart
ments of art and domestic science on
Friday June 30, in the gymnasium
building. Miss Leta Horlocker, in
charge of the art department, has OBJ
tanned most satisfactory results. Work
in still life, bowers and Landscape was
shown in charcoal and watercolor,
heads from life in charcoal, watercolor
and pastel. The class in metal work
under Mrs J. H. Walk was an inter-
esting exhibit and the work in china
painting under Miss Horlocker was
most pleasing in design and workman
ship. The pupils exhibiting were Cor
rinne Bullard, Annette Cole, Helen
