Statuettes in Antique Bronze Finish: Ottilie Reinke GENERAL INFORMATION The School of Fine and Applied Arts, affiliated with the State Normal School at Milwaukee since June, 1911, is the State School of Arts. The school has a force of competent instructors for the various branches of the arts, each member an expert in his line. The splendidly lighted studios and well-equipped crafts shops make it pos- sible for the student to work under most favorable conditions. The scope of the school, being wider than that of any other school of arts in this country, is of great advantage to those who desire to devote themselves to teaching or the study of the arts as a means of making a livelihood, presenting opportunities for every indi- vidual to find his place in that branch of art work for which he is best gifted. This is appreciated by all who recognize that the study of the arts should be broad and comprehensive, should develop the student’s creative ability, in order that he may achieve the highest degree of excellence, productivity and resourcefulness. The school has a three-fold purpose. In the first place, it trains teachers and supervisors of drawing, design and the manual arts for the public schools of Wisconsin. There was a time when drawing was considered one of the fads of the American school. It has now come to be recognized as one of the most practical subjects in the curriculum. The ability to draw and design lies at the basis of many of our in- dustrial operations, and the industrial world is demanding more practical and efficient teaching of these subjects in the public schools. If this is to be secured, better teachers must go into the public schools. Better art instruction in our schools will not merely bring about better results from the exceptionally talented who may choose a branch of the arts as a means of making a livelihood, but it is bound to elevate the esthetic standards of the entire community. The in- structors should not merely consider drawing, design and handwork as mechanical occupation for the child ; they should endeavor to obtain original artistic results, giving the pupil an opportunity, under proper guidance, to express his own ideas, founded on the application of good principles of construction, design and color. This school recognizes the fact that tremendous practical and cultural values follow in the paths of art. It, therefore, gives much attention to that form of general education which not only develops skill in drawing, but also acquaints the student with the fundamental principles of design and composition ; with proportion, rhythm, bal- ance and beauty of form, line and color. We must have art instructors in our schools, competent people, who are capable of handling the art subjects from an artistic as well as from the educational standpoint, instructors whose enthusiasm and 5 sincerity of purpose will inspire their pupils to do beautiful artistic creations. The cultural effect of one great artist, painter, musician, architect or sculptor, is worth millions of dollars spent by the state for art education, and we are beginning to realize that it is to the greatest advantage of the modern state when it jealously demands, that the exceptionally talented shall be trained by the state, in order that his genius be brought forth in the service of the greater society. When once we agree that we do not want merely education, but also culture, as a final result of school training, we can not con- scientiously go on without providing adequate instruction in the arts, that will develop esthetic appreciation in the pupil, which is neces- sarily admitted as one of the highest cultural aims. It has always been man’s desire to treasure and love his greatest achievements in the arts. A good art instructor can, through prac- tical application, develop more esthetic appreciation than all the other members of the faculty can do with text-books and lectures. By providing proper art instruction in our schools, we add one of the most dynamic factors in the development of higher cultural standards. To cultivate the eye and the hand is to enlarge the material for thought, and the food for thought. An individual properly trained in drawing, design and the use of color, will become more capable of keen observation, and more sensitive and appreciative of the beautiful in nature and in art; and this appreciation will call for the elimination of the ugly. A good course in drawing, design and the manual arts will in many instances so vitalize the school work and will add new interests for many, so that they will reveal an added interest in other subjects. Vocational training carried on from this point of view demon- strates the practical value of properly training the young people for their future calling, and many employers co-operate with the schools because they realize that the employe who is skilled in the use of his tools, who has been trained to realize the importance of shop dis- cipline and workmanlike methods, and has an appreciation of the value of efficiency and the spirit of service, is a valuable asset in their business. Artists, designers and craftsmen must be taught to create, origi- nate; they must produce objects of art characteristic of our thinking, feeling, customs, environment, and the spirit of the nation. A good original design for any object in the industrial arts, enhances the value of that object, and makes of it a thing of beauty that will be of lasting value. To this end the School of Fine and Applied Arts, from the first, insisted on original work only, and proper co-operation of all its faculty members, who realize that the combined artistic and mechan- 6 ical excellency alone will lead to the production of objects which are of lasting value. It is a duty of our public schools to provide competent art in- structors, in order that our boys and girls shall have every oppor- tunity to develop properly along esthetic lines, and learn to appreciate the value of creative design, because the degree of such appreciation will, to a great extent determine the cultural standards of the com- munity. This school believes that it is of the utmost importance for the cultural development of an advanced and intelligent people, to assign the proper place in the educational system, to education of the heart and the soul. The welfare and progress of the modern state demands that we shall recognize the fact that our products in the fine and industrial arts shall be esthetic, artistic creations, representative of and of equally high standards as our cultural attainments in other fields of human endeavor. The second aim of the school is to develop an appreciation of the arts and offer opportunity for the study of the fine arts. The esthetic enters into almost every commodity, product, utensil and activity. Any individual, society or institution that helps to foster the appreciation of the beautiful and the practice of the fine arts is rendering a service to society. A third distinct purpose of the school is to develop skilled workers in the applied arts. The demand for skilled craftsmen who are artistically capable is continually increasing, and many of our former students of the school are now in prominent positions as Painters, Illustrators, Designers, Interior Decorators, Commercial Designers, Cartoonists, Architects, Instructors, Craftsmen, and in other lines of applied design in Wisconsin, and in other states. The threefold purpose of the school is carried out through its three departments: the Normal Art Department, the Fine Arts Depart- ment, and the Applied Arts Department. THE ADVANTAGES OF MILWAUKEE TO A STUDENT OF ART In many respects, Milwaukee is an ideal place for a School of Art. It is a large city, and large cities are today the centers of all that is best artistically. Although a large city, Milwaukee is a quiet city. It is not afflicted with the confusion and noise and tumult character- istic of so many large cities. The location of the Normal School is in a most favored section. Four blocks to the east lies Lake Michigan, on which is located beautiful Lake Park, and a few blocks to the west is the Milwaukee River, on which is situated Riverside Park. In the vicinity of the school are some of the finest and most attractive examples of home architecture. 7 ART EXHIBITIONS Every year many art exhibitions of note take place in the city. Some of these are conducted by the art dealers, while the exhibitions and lectures at the Milwaukee Art Institute are open to the public from October to July. Art students are generally admitted to the Art Institute’s galleries free. The Layton Art Gallery has a collec- tion of numerous canvases by famous painters. The School of Fine and Applied Arts holds an annual exhibition of work by the students in the various departments. Students are expected to submit their work from all classes for this exhibition. Scholarships, Honorable Mentions, or Prizes will be awarded by a jury chosen from the faculty. BRAND SCHOLARSHIPS The Art School is indebted to Mrs. Lily Brand, of Milwaukee, for two scholarships annually. At the request of Mrs. Brand the director of the Art School is to give these to students of the Fine and Applied Arts whose work in the Decorative or Applied Arts has been of special merit. First Scholarship: Tuition for one year; Second Scholarship: Tuition for one-half year. (Everyone interested in the promotion of the arts and the ad- vancement of talented young art students, is invited to contribute annually to a Scholarship Fund . — The Director.) Annually the jury honors students of the school who have done work of artistic merit by adding some of their productions to the permanent collection of students’ work. This work is permanently exhibited at the Art School. In addition to these special features which minister directly to the art of painting and designing, there are opportunities to cultivate the allied arts of Music and Drama. Milwaukee has rare opportunities for a city of its size in musical ways. All the great musical artists sooner or later visit Milwaukee. The best dramatic artists also come to Milwaukee. The Public Museum and the Public Library are great artistic assets. The museum has a fine collection of archaeological material. The Public Library is well equipped with material which is of service to students of art. NORMAL SCHOOL LIBRARY Books on the arts and the best current art magazines will be found in the library of the Normal School. The Normal library of 25,000 volumes is open to students of the Art School. THE SCHOOL OF MUSIC Students who desire to study music while attending the Art School, will find it very convenient that the School of Music is located in the Normal School and offers excellent modern courses in instrumental and vocal music, harmony, etc. Send for a catalog of the School of Music, at the State Normal School, Milwaukee. SPECIAL ART AND MUSIC COURSE Special arrangement will be made for students who desire to take a course in the teaching and supervising of Art and Music. VISITORS Visiting at the Art School can not be permitted except through the director’s office. HOW TO REACH THE NORMAL SCHOOL Persons arriving by the C. & N. W. should take a State or a Twelfth Street car at the station, and transfer at Jackson Street to a Wells- Farwell car. Persons arriving on the C. M. & St. P., or the Soo Line, or on the interurban lines, should go to Grand Avenue and take a Wells- Farwell car eastbound. BOARDING AND ROOM Persons are advised not to secure rooms until they come to the city. A list of places will be kept at the Art School and at the Normal School, and personal help in finding rooms will be given students. Board may be had at from $3 to $4 per week. Single rooms range from $2 to $3 per week. Double rooms from $1.25 to $2.00 per week. WHEN TO ENTER In the Fine and Applied Arts Departments persons may enter at any time during the year, as the work in these departments is indi- vidual rather than class work. Students are admitted to the two-year course of the Normal Department only at the beginning of the year. Students may enter the first year of the three-year normal course any time during the year.

The first requisite of a good teacher of any subject or art is, first, a thorough and usable knowledge or skill in that subject or art, and, second, the ability to assist others to acquire such knowl- edge or skill. Applied to Drawing, this means, that a teacher of Drawing must know what good drawing is, and be able to draw well himself. A failure in either of these particulars is fatal to success in teaching Drawing. For this reason, great emphasis is placed by the Art School upon what may be called the academic side of a teacher’s preparation. Candidates for graduation must have high standards of excellence, and ability in execution. But it is not enough to have ideals and skill. A teacher must be able to teach. The course in Drawing at the Art School includes a thorough preparation in the best methods of teaching Drawing in the public schools. This knowl- edge is both theoretical and practical. The course includes practice teaching. Unfortunately, in most art schools, practice teaching is limited to a handful of children, under conditions which are not at all like the conditions in public schools. The normal school offers the best of opportunities for practice teaching. Students have opportunity to handle full grades of children, under the conditions which they will have to meet when they take up public school teaching. Thorough- ness in the comprehension of principles and critical judgment, and skill in their application, are insisted upon throughout this course. At the same time, effort is made to increase the general culture and esthetic appreciation of those who are preparing for teaching. COURSES OF STUDY A three-year Normal Arts Course is offered for those who desire to devote themselves to teaching and supervising drawing, design and handwork in the public schools. The equivalent of high school prepa- ration in the usual four-year high school course is required for entrance. Applicants who have had one year of thorough art training in drawing, creative design, mechanical drawing, perspective, composition and still-life painting, will be permitted to attempt completing the Normal Arts Course in two years, provided that their work submitted is original and of sufficient merit. All Normal Arts students work five and one-half days a week. Applicants who have taught successfully for four years or more, and have been for two years or more the holders of first grade County Certificates are admitted the same as though high school graduates. In addition to these qualifications the applicant must show evidence, by submitting drawings and original designs, that he is qualified to enter the two-year course. 12 THREE-YEAR NORMAL ARTS COURSE FIRST YEAR English, History of Art.

NORMAL MANUAL ARTS COURSE It is the aim of this course to train competent instructors and supervisors to meet the demands for vocational education. The School of Fine and Applied Arts, eminently fitted for this work, offers a two-year course which includes a good foundation in drawing, design and the use of color. The present demand for good instructors of woodworking and the other applied arts, who have had sound training in free hand drawing and design, makes this course a very desirable one for young men who wish to devote themselves to the teaching and supervising of the Manual Arts. Generally, originality and the esthetic and 13 artistic qualities are not given proper consideration in Manual Arts courses. The entrance requirements for the Normal Manual Arts Course are the same as for the Normal Arts Course. TWO-YEAR NORMAL MANUAL ARTS COURSE FIRST YEAR English, Library Methods, History of Art.

FINE ARTS DEPARTMENT The purpose of this department is to give sound and practical training in the Fine Arts. Necessarily, the work in this department is fundamental to that of the other departments. In cultivating ideals, developing tastes and creating standards, it ministers to success in the Applied Arts or in the Teaching of Art. The Fine Arts Department offers an opportunity to those who desire to make art a means of livelihood, as well as to those who desire to study art for their own pleasure and accomplishment. The instruction in this department is necessarily largely individual. Since courses in the Fine Arts cannot be prescribed for a definite period in advance, this department offers no diploma. Persons who have attended the school for three or more years and whose work is approved by the faculty of the school, will be granted a certificate of attainment signed by the proper officials. All students of the school must devote sufficient time to the practice of drawing and painting in order to become proficient, and familiar with the technical manipulation, and with the fundamental principles of construction, light and shade, color and design. The department does not encourage the attendance of those who are not thoroughly interested in art, and who do not have a purpose to do serious work. Persons who do not show interest in their work nor ability to improve, will be requested to withdraw.

APPLIED ARTS DEPARTMENT The following studies in the Fine Arts Department are prerequi- site to all courses in the Applied Arts: Drawing, Elementary and Intermediate; Decorative Design, Mechanical Drawing, Perspective, Study of Plant and Animal Forms. Students of the Applied Arts will be allowed to execute their designs in the crafts-rooms as soon as they have learned to render them in an artistic and satisfactory manner. The highest attainment has come from the union of the artist- designer and the artist-workman. It is essential to the best results that a designer should himself be a capable workman, thoroughly comprehending both the limitations and the possibilities of execution, and that the craftsman carrying out the design should understand the underlying principles of design, in order to be wholly in sympathy with it. However beautiful the design, it lacks value if unsuited to the purpose for which it is intended, and the material to be used for its execution. On the other hand, a skillful piece of craftsmanship will be inartistic, and of little value, unless it is good structurally, and pure in design. The school provides sound instruction in the various branches of the Applied Arts, preparing students to originate their own designs and execute them, insuring practical workmanlike methods and good structural and decorative design. All work will be original productions. Applied Arts students may drop work in the drawing classes after they are through with their Intermediate drawing. 17 Bookbinding: Monday, p. m. and Thursday, p. m.
