SPLENDIS EXHIBIT
SCHOOL ART WORK
VISITED BY MANY


One Of tho most attractive eX-
hibits OF art work done in the pub
lie schools Is the one now hanging
in the Public Art Gallery in SeniO:
High School. 1t is pleasing in the
way it is hung and in the variety
OF work shown. 1t is interesting
In that the work shown. instead OF
being a group OF flowers, or trees,
OF a horse or any subject that is
complete in itself, represents diff
ferent lines OF work that has been
studied and groups of pictures are
drawn OF some one subject. For
instance there are the Circus Day
groups which include some pic
lures of animals, some of wagons
in a parade and some of the people
watching the parade; and the Rob-
in Hood group which includes
drawings of Robin Hood. Green
wood forest and archers. Other
groups of this kind are the ones
showing Arabian life, Indian life,
farm life and life on cotton plan
tatiOn.
Birds drawn by kindergarten
children in Finley school are inter
estiHg and show action. The Cir
Gus Day group from this school is
especially complete.
Baxter has the honor of having
one Of its posters (posters were
made by all sixth grade pupils on
some sabjecD hung with those
drawn by high school students
1t represents a peacock and says:
Be Proud Of a Clean City" A
tractor engine was included in the
uptO-date farm scene group from
the school.
Trees in winter were the sub
ject OF much study in Warner
School this year They were stud
led from school room windows and
on closer view. Some of the draw
ings Of trees made by pupils in
this school are very good.
The posters made by the sixth
grade pupils of Hibberd school ad-
vertising the art exhibit are par
ticularly attractive in color. This
class chose the exhibit as their
subject and studied lettering, spac-
ing and advertising as they
worked on them. They put the
ones they judged best in the store
windows
Drawings made by children in the
fourth grade of Vale school, in
connection with their study of
Greek art represent their subject
especially well. The circus ami
mails and the drawings of the story
of the Three Bears are we'll done.
Sets of drawings of the same sub
ject made at different times during
this present school year by pupils
OF the ga grade at Sevastopol, tell
an interesting story. They say,
See how much better the child
drew me the last time he tried than
he did when he first tried" The
subject of one of these groups of
drawings is a ship.
A cement flower box made by
the sixth grade boys of Joseph
Moore school is a novel piece of
work and we'll done. The boys
made the mold first. Scale draw
ings of the walls in their class
room were made with good results
by fifth grade pupils of this school.
Camels and elephants, made by
the first grade children look very
natural.
A most worthwhile group of
drawings on the subject Of the Cot
ton Plantation was made by fourth
grade boys and girls in Starr
school. Bird books, also made by
this grade are neatly made and
attractive.
A group of drawings of Indian
life made by pupils in the second

we'll done and show variety of
scenes of the life of the American
