leaves to model. Next we copied a chestnut medallion, and the best
models in the class were cast. A medallion with a grape design and one
with a bowl of flowers were finished next and casts were made of the best
models. Just before Easter we started to design another model; the
designs of the last two models have been left almost entirely to the
students.

Class B. By Ruth Ware

HE term started off in October with a congenial group of young
4& lady students deeply interested in the weekly programme.

MopELLInGc.—One period a week has been devoted to this study,
under the tuition of Mr. Charles Marega. Our early practice was with
simple leaves, followed by a conventionalized chestnut design, a grape
design, an urn of flowers, and then a wreath of flowers, fruit, or vege-
tables. The best work in these later models has been cast.

ComMERCIAL Art.—Previous to February, Mr. Scott and Miss Phyllis
Kirkpatrick had charge of one period each per week. Since then, Mr.
MacGregor has been the full-time teacher. We have done manuscript
lettering, and designed book covers, box covers, advertisements, and
posters.

DesicN.—There have been three periods of design under Mr.
McDonald. The work has included a study of plant-forms and their
application to conventionalized design, counterchange, and all-over pat-
terns, etc.

DRAWING AND PAINTING.—Two periods are given over to Drawing
and one to Painting, with Mr. Scott as instructor in the former, and Mr.
MacGregor in the latter. The Christmas term was spent with Mr. Verral
in the study of plant forms, still-life objects, and heads. Mr. Scott is
now teaching this group, and progression is being made with full length
figures. One of the most enjoyable features of this class has been the
ten-minute sketches of the various members of the class.

During the Eastern term we have done some interesting studies of
still-life groups in water-colours.
