This in- cludes oil paints, ink for drawing and lettering, and tissue paper for colleges. Careful instructions in balance and har- mony help students to improve their tal- ents as well as stimulate interest. Many people may find that their powers of perception are greater as a re- sult of the work they have done in art classes. When draw- ing or painting ob- jects, it is neces- sary to view them more closely.
