Child Artists Method

''It is impossible to say when
Pamela really first showed her
talent. l noticed this from the
first-that she was unusually neat
in her work. She didn't put down
a line except as she wanted it. And
that has been characteristic Of her
work all along. She never grasses,
never makes preliminary sketches.
Even in working in such an exact
ing medium as pen and ink, she
does not draw until she has an exact
idea of the way she wants the
picture
Pamela was sitting on wide
sort of stool with her father. The
personal talk did not seem to make
her self-conscious. In fact, it did
not interest her particularly. An
affectionate gray cat had come into
the room, and she stroked the little
animal as tenderly as she might
have petted her own.

continued her father, with his arm

Fond of the Outdoors


This brings up an interesting
phase of the child artists character.
She is an outdoor girl. She is a
splendid swimmer, and her father
dilates on her ability as hiker and
her good fellowship as camper.
Last summer she accompanied him
on hiking trip through Wales. She
carried her own knapsack and some
camp materials.
Outdoor excursions such as this
furnish new inspiration and ma
terial for the artist. One of the
things she is looking forward to in
America is getting out into the open,
seeing something OF. the country be-
sides New York.
Pamela has already seen some
thing besides New York. She and
her father arrived in Philadelphia
recently and spent ten days there be-
fore coming to New York. Pamela's
mother is an Englishwoman, who
was reared in Philadelphia and ye-

this because of the merit of her
writing, although some of the
poetry wasn't bad, but because some
of her first drawing was done to H.

fore it was done the young author

ceived much of her education there.
The precociousness of the little girl
may be accounted for to some extent
by hereditary influence. Her mother
brought out novel when she was
only eighteen years old-a novel
which was given serious consider
alton by the critics at that time.
Captain Francesca Bianco, father
of the child artist, is an Italian. He
is of the firm of Zanedos, bookbind-
ers, in London. Besides the phe-
nomenal daughter, Captain Bianco
and his wife have another child, a
boy older than Pamela, who is highly
gifted in mathematical line.
Educated by the Parents
The education of these children
has not been that ordinarily allotted
to young people. Both father and
mother were in a degree over-edu-
Gated themselves. They had decided
ideas of their own as to the values
of certain traditional teachings. To
a great extent they have educated
their children themselves. The effect
lof this system is perceptible in the
work of Pamela.
"She has never had teacher in
drawing and painting" said Captain
Bianco. "The only thing | have
ever done regarding her talent is to
see that she has not been hampered.
! saw that she always had good ma
terials with which to work. When
she started drawing, of course we
thought nothing Of it. All children

eyes, she knows everything about
home duties," continued her father.
"It was part of her education"
Although Captain Bianco and his
family have made England their
home, he has never become a citizen
there. SO when the war in Europe
came on he went back to Italy and
entered the service Of his home coun-
try. He served four years in the
Italian army. His wife and the two
children lived near Turin during
that period.
Pamela has been kept away from
art to some extent. Of course, it
has been impossible to keep her
wholly in ignorance of what others
have done. Her natural tendency
whets her interest, and the people
she meets are cultured people, some
of whom have exceptional under
standing in art matters. But accord
ing to her father there is real eff
fort made by the family to keep the
young artist from preconceived ideas
on art.
| Praise From Calsworthy
"We never talk art in the family .
he said. "Of course, it has not been
possible to keep Pamela from seeing
anything in the way of art. 1t is
really more difficult to avoid than to
let her become intimate with it. Bu,
my wife and / believe in guiding
but not forcing, education. We dc
not want Pamela to lose any of her
originality through the influence Of
others"
This feeling of the child's parents
is shared by others who are acquaint.
ed with Pamela's work. A letter
from John Galsworthy to her father
says:
"Dear Bianco: ] can't tell you

Give a little child a pencil or a
crayon and he will make things he
calls pictures. | always let Pamela
have the best of materials. Some
persons may think this is rather ex-
travagant for a child. But the
prdinary crayons with which chill
dren play are so poor that they con-
fuse and hamper what the little one
may be trying to do.

What language does she use
when she is an author?" was the
natural question here. Pamela
was born near London, but part of
her life has been spent in her
fathers country.

tilda Locus; and now art, not
to be out1one in this season
of child prodigies, presents to us
Pamela Bianco.
This girl Of fourteen years has an
exhibition of paintings and drawings
at. the Anderson Galleries which is
noteworthy in itself as we'll as for
the fact that the artist is a child.
Pamela Bianco is a splendid exam
pie of the new type Of child prodigy.
She is strong and healthy, very
much little girl. There is none of
the anenlie in her appearance.
Physical vigor is the outstanding i'm
preston she makes upon the person
meeting her for the first time-that
and simplicity of manner. She wears
her soft, straight hair smoothed
close to her head and braided in a
tight braid. Her eyes are so heavily
/ shaded with thick, black lashes that
they appear to be dark. Her face is
B round and she has the pure complex
ion which is so characteristic of
English girls.
Disregards Her Fame
| So far as fame and the exhibition
are concerned Pamela is decidedly
nonchalant. There isn't much inter-
. est in the exhibition itself for her..
& To be sure, she had some experiences
the first day or two at the galleries.
Since that time, however, she has
not been there for very long at
time. 1t was too much case of
Pamela herself being regarded as an
Exhibition.
u "The people were kind" she said,
speaking of her day at the galleries.
"They were really too affectionate.
Some of the ladies told me about
their pet animals. One of them
had dog named Toto or 'Booboo'
or something and she wanted me to
visit her and paint picture of
Toto or 'Booboo' or whatever he
vas. I shouldn't mind, but there
were so many of the visitors like
that."
The pictures of her pets are those
that still hold an interest for the
youthful artist. And with these it
ls not the pictures so much as the
"reminiscences Of the pets them
selves.
Tea-Drinking Guinea Pig
Tiddles, the guinea pig who died
% recently, holds first place among
ne pets. His picture is in the exhi-

The country over. at this season

preserved some eggs at the plentiful
season she will have to manage
carefully lest her food bills grow

The younger child of the family
might have two or three eggs
week, but the older members of the
family should desist from free in
diligence in eggs and go in for some
other cheaper foods Nature provides.
A housewife who round she could
not afford to longer provide the six
eggs for breakfast each morning
that her family Of three demanded
began experimenting with other
foods for breakfast. She found that
a fnnan haddie could be bought for
CSC. This she steamed until tender
with a little water in the fry pan,
adding water as more seemed to be
needed. When done. she made up a
pint of white sauce and mixed it
with the fish after ii had been
picked from the bones. This was
served on toast and provided a

Beside these two outstanding rea-

there are a number of other con-

How many young people enter
upon marriage with their eyes wide

Ninety out of a hundred take a

which is supposed to have special
