This book was released on 2018-10-10 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Pennsylvania Museum Bulletin, Vol. 18: February 1923 Although this is a four-year course, specialization does not begin until the second year. In the first year the student is given a well balanced general foundation of drawing and modeling, the theories Of design and of color, with a little lettering, mechanical drawing and perspective. He also attends a series of lectures Which serves as an introduction to the various fields of man's artistic endeavors. All students entering the School must enroll in this Beginners' Class, irrespective Of the courses in which they may later Wish to specialize. This first year is also a year Of weeding out - those patently unfit are dropped. Only graduates Of High Schools are accepted in the Teachers' Training Course. In the second year the student still attends general classes in common with those who are specializing in other fields these classes comprising drawing, nature study, rendering and a course Of lectures on ornamental motives. With these general studies the student begins the special training in the theory and practice of teaching under Mr. Edmondson Hussey - this work being more and more dominant in the third and fourth years. These teachers-to-be survey the field of human expression, that they may wisely guide the child as he strives to give shape to his budding creative instincts: they study his psychology and, under the heading Of Civics, consider his place in the social scheme. In this second year, that is, they study the child. In the third year they advance to the consideration Of the child in the school: how and what he has been taught and discuss what he should be taught and the correlation Of his studies and the part which drawing and manual arts should play in planning for him an ideal curriculum. In the final year these investigations are given practical value by actual teaching under Mr. Hussey's supervision and the studies of the former years are reviewed and welded into a clearly reasoned method Of procedure.

This book was released on 2018-02-10 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Bulletin of the Pennsylvania Museum: October, 1915 The next in point of age probably is that represented in no. 2. This also shows true linen-fold paneling. In the center runs a carved piece with female and crowned male figures. Three pieces are plainly Elizabethan in period, as shown by the elaborate ribbon or interlaced strap and rosette design, although the style also appears in France. Number 3 is a fine example of the style prevailing in the second half of the sixteenth century. Figures of a unicorn and of a boar occupy the two upper panels. Another of this group is more elaborately carved with all - over finely wrought design of closely interlaced strap and rosette work. In the third piece of the group, the same or similar design is carved on five broad bands divided by narrower plain spaces. A fine entire chest of this period, the front of which is richly carved in the same style, serves to illustrate the nature of the exhibit. Another, similar in design but of obviously later date, also is interesting as showing the early introduction of the Renaissance cherub - as well as the use of the carved moulding as a frame to the panels.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Pennsylvania Museum Bulletin, Vol. 72: November, 1922 To quote from the Preface: It has been the aim of the com pilers to present the facts in the light of modern art criticism regard ing each artist and each picture as completely as was consistent with their historical importance and significance.' A catalogue should be not only an explanatory guide book, but an authoritative work of reference. This aim has been, it is felt, most satisfactorily achieved; not only the biographical details of the artists are fully given, but as far as possible facts have been assembled about each picture which enable the student more than ever before to trace its early history and to determine its period.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Pennsylvania Museum Bulletin, Vol. 18: April, 1923 Hen Robert Morris, signer of the Declaration of Independ ence and financier of the Revolution, was withdrawing from active participation in the affairs of government, he started to build for his residence in Philadelphia, a splendid mansion on Chestnut Street, between Seventh and Eighth. It was very preten tious in conception: designed by the French architect Pierre Charles l'enfant, it was to be largely of marble, at that time a unique feature in a city made up entirely of houses -of brick or-country stone, and to carry it further towards perfection, Morris brought from Italy a sculptor named Iardella to carve the reliefs for the exterior. As work on the building progressed, the financier placed orders in France-and England for the interior furnishings, so that within as well as with out his dwelling might come up to European decorative standards. Among the furnishings that he ordered from Paris-was the pair of girandoles, here illustrated, which have recently been presented to the Pennsylvania Museum. But they did not hang in the house, for it Was never completed, Morris's vast land holdings in New York, Virginia, South Carolina, and Georgia were tragically slow in devel oping, a alondon bank in Which he had large funds failed, one of his partners proved dishonest, and in 1797 he was forced into bank ruptcy. On December 11, 1797, the half-completed house and the land whereon it stood were sold to' satisfy his creditors, and the objects even which he had ordered from abroad met the same fate. These girondoles were purchased at the auction by William Wilson, living in High Street west of Eighth, and they have remained in his family ever since, passing to his grandson, Joseph Lapsley Wilson. Of Merion, who has given them to the Museum. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2018-03-23 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Pennsylvania Museum Bulletin: June, 1921 The above is a thumbnail sketch of the history of the craft in Phila delphia. One point alone remains to be considered, and' that is why in Pennsylvania and the Southern Provinces less silver was made; why less was in everyday household use than in New England. The comparative stability of the currency in these two regions accounts for this fact. In New England, the unstable paper money which was being issued continually, and which was received at varying discounts in different localities, made silver the only constant, and hence most desirable, form of money. Yet the householder preferred to change his silver hoardings into some form which might be safe and at the same time useful. No better way was afforded than having his coin melted and recast in articles for his table, which he could use every day and, if the need arose, convert into ready money with the assurance of incurring little or no loss. Consequently, a large amount of the silver made in Colonial New England represented the family fortune, rather than a special and local taste for silverware. In Pennsylvania, on the contrary, where commerce and trade were on _a sound footing and where but little paper currency was in circulation, the householder found no need to take such steps; his silver coin if deposited in a bank brought him a satisfactory rate of interest, and could at any time be withdrawn for use. So the Pennsylvanian did not visit his silver-smith with his savings for recasting, and for this reason there was less silver in household use in the Southern provinces than in New England. It is an interesting point inasmuch as it demonstrates how closely interwoven were various threads of Colonial life.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Pennsylvania Museum Bulletin, Vol. 22: Published at Memorial Hall, Fairmount Park, Philadelphia, by the Pennsylvania Museum and School of Industrial Art; October 1926 There is no question that Pennell himself was a master of technique, and that this mastery-was due to hard work. Whistler, so Pennell says, spent three weeks drawing on the plate of The Black Lion Wharf. How hard I tried to approach it! Pennell adds. He was a prodigious worker and sound technician. But he was not a student of human nature. He did not follow Rembrandt and the old Dutch masters in the study of human life. Activities, not emotions, interested him; his appeal is not to the hearts and souls of humanity. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
