ART AND YOUR CHILD
By II. E. KINSLEY
hrt Teacher. Milford Schools

We have considered the whole pur-
pose and scope of art. we have
thought of il in relation to the com
munity and of its special duties in
the school curriculum. Now, what OF
the growth of your child as affected
by the art course? Is art anything he
really needs. or is it just a "frill' of
education. a ramby pamby extra not
worth the time or trouble spent?
II through the fault Of a course
outline or short sightedhess of the
supervisor or art instructor the art
of any school is divorced from the
life interest and needs of your child,
then il is useless. II on the other
hand, the fundamentals of art, a
sense OF color, of composition. or de-
sign, Of balance and rythm of rep
resentation or drawing, of values and
contrasts are taught in and through
projects or pictures dealing with
the intimate interests or needs of
your child. then these useful life
principles have meaning to and find
acceptance by the student.
Children, even the sO-called un-
talented, until hampered by adult
standards, can readily draw about
things they know, Boys living on
farms who could not do Bit well
with the Eiffel Tower can turn out
amazing pictures, carvings or de-
sign adaptations of horses, tractors,
or other, farm essentials.
1t is our duty to relate the prin-
ciples OF art to the needs Of every
child, to his interests and life sur
roundings. for these ART pfincipies
are not just part Of an art course.
they are principles essential TO
creative, happy, full
life. They can be learned elsewhere,
but the art course should be pri-
mary source Of inspiration.

at couple of rushes of Miss Scott in
