sersal language used by men of az!
ages and nationaities.
Ii teachers and parents realized THAI
this definition Of drawing is literally
true, more time and attention would
be given to the subject at school and
at home. II would not be considered
"frill" nor an extra but would be
classed as an essential, along with
reading. writing and arithmetic.
All children, especially the very lit
tie folks, vho have not mastered the
spoken language well enough to ex-
press themselves clearly. naturally

they have in mind. They should be
given every opportunity to do this

dren's development, and no suitable
material Is given them.
Usually the only medium they fud
with which to make picture Is a
lead pencil, They use 1t eagerly and
with enthusiasm. partly because Of
their natural desire to draw and part
iy because they see the older mem
bers Of the family using 1t TO write

do with the pencil Is to make lines
Consequently they form the habit OF
making crude drawings In outline

dency.
Material to Make Forms.
! am convinced that, Ii children
were given material with which tAey
could make forms, as they really see
them, they would never be tempted to
Mountain Home Republican. [volume] (Mountain Home, Idaho) 1915-1946, 1922-06-24

draw In outlines. The best and most
responsive mediums for the smallest
children are clay and sand. With
these they can learn to make objects
as they actually exist, with three d.
mansions. They can quickly and cas-
lily express their ideas and carry out
In realistic way the pictures of their
imagination.
When they are old enough to under
stand that picture Is merely the fiat
representation of the solid forms. they
should be given soft materials that
will make surfaces or masses quickly,
such as chalk (not crayola), char
coal. and water color paints. OF
course these viii be somewhat ines
sy' for them to handle, and the moth
ers and teachers who care more about
clean hands and clothes than they do
about the childrens development, Will
substitute the lead pencil and wax
crayons, or crayola.
In most homes, and unfortunately
In some kinlergartens and primary
grades, most OF the art work which In
wolves the use Of SCISSORS and paints,
consists In cutting out and colOring
pictures from magazines or pictures
outlined from patterns. This has little
value as art training except to give
skill In the handling of the scissors
and the brush. 1t Is good as far as II
goes.
viii Develop child's Ideas.
1t is far more educational, how
ever, and will develop the child's idea
Of form to q much greater degree, to
encourage him to cut out his own
forms, without any patterns, just as
he makes his own drawings when al
lowed to express himself freely as an
individual. Tearing out from paper
forms In whii1i he Is interested, us
Ing the thumb and foretinger Of each
hand held elise together like two
pairs of nippe IS Is also an excellent
way for chilli to work out his own
idea of form.
To be of real value, most OF the art
efforts OF children should be the re-
suits Of their own thinking and see
ing, just as theii talking efforts should
express their own ideas and not con-
slst merely In The repetition Of the
wpris Of those around them.
