THe ATTIC MUSE
(I): YOU like to become an Art Student, and later on

if you survive—an Artist? The process is quite simple,

though we cannot guarantee its being painless. You begin

by starting at the bottom and climbing to the top—that is, if you

are a student at the Vancouver School of Art. Having done thi

regularly six times a day, you will soon discover there are some twe

hundred steps to becoming an Artist. '

As one of the young hopeful participants in the race for worldh

fame through the medium of art, I take this opportunity to acquaint

you with the joys you have yet to experience.

The buildings are situated in the heart of the city. A more sootabl

location it would be hard to find. No funeral, wedding, or turn-out

of the fire brigade can take place without every student being aware

ral of it. In order to provide the correct atmosphere, for, as perhaps the
| initiated know, the proper environment for an artist, be he good of
otherwise, is an attic—we have installed an attic. The hottest im
summer and the coldest in winter of any on the Pacific coast. I

seems, the real reason many artists are only half baked is that either

they had not the opportunity to come to our school, or else they

chose the wrong time of year. 4
