marked by tiny diamonds.

SCULPTOR TEACHES

Lorado Taft Carries Exhibit
Weighing Half Ton for Lee
lures to Classes.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, May 16.-The memory
picture of famous sculptor at work is
something Chicago school children will
take from their classes.
dorado Taft, the sculptor, turned
school teacher as a result of the $4,000
gift of Mrs. James N. Raymond. She
set that sum aside to finance Taft's
visits to high schools to the end that
art appreciation might be encouraged.
Several years ago Mrs. Raymond left
similar amounts to the art institute and
the Field Museum for lectures
Taft carries with him to the schools
an exhibit weighing half ton. 1t con-
tains casts. molds, working models, clay
and plaster of parts.
Preceding the modelling of an as
sistant's head or the bust of student,
the sculptor begins his lecture with a
study of the human face. The skull is
used as a background for what he calls
the grammar of fine art, for the study
of anatomy and proportion. A face
mask is used to illustrate the gilt OF
facial expression.
Everybody is a sculptor" said TAFT,
"People shape their faces with every
thought and dream. PhidiaS and his
Greek contemporaries possessed such
genius that they worked directly in
marble.
with Praxiteles, however. mechanical
aids to carving began to develop. Today,
almost all sculpture first is worked out
in clay, or even soap, and reproduced
in the permanent medium. Students
are encouraged to develop their talents
in the more facile methods"
Taft has been a lecturer at the art
institute and the Universities of Chi
cago and Illinois 35 years.
