It’s something he has been looking forward to for years, but he discovers that instead of being a climax this is only a beginning. College is new and excit- ing, but he finds that he isn’t as good as he thought. It’s very discouraging. Finally he starts working! Life drawing, design, lettering . . . he becomes so absorbed that he forgets everything else. One day he looks back at his September self and is amazed at the change. Next fall he’ll tell the new Freshmen about it. They won’t believe it. He wouldn’t have believed it, either. | pheeaeremis FouNDATION is the beginning of a gradual understanding and awareness of the basic elements of design as well as a development of creative ability. The student benefits by exploration and experimentation within a broad area of the visual arts. He acquires a knowledge of color, line and texture, a feeling for form and spacial relationship, an appreciation of the patterns of nature and the opportunity to express and develop his individual ideas. From core of fundamental subjects emerges the artist-designer, more aware of and more sensitive to his mental and physical environment. FINE ARTS oem San Cops a ee ee at ee ARVE STEIN MRS. LYLE N.

HAMILTON Abs aim of the illustrator is to express in visual terms what the author has said in words. He must learn from the past, yet keep up with the c ontemporary trend. He must keep his eyes open to life around him, retain images in his mind, busy his hand with sketch- ing. While he always considers the limita- tions of production, he explores new techniques and utilizes the endless possibilities of media. He strives for originality — a fresh approach —in portraying character, designing sym- bols, or recreating a setting which will bring words to life in the minds of his audience. QO: the arts presenting a scope limited only by the indivi- dual’s capacity, painting is the most challenging, for one can use but two dimensions in which to express his experience of living. An understanding of the possibilities of color, the skillful manipulation of tools and material, the knowledge of drawing and composition, and the study of the work of masters — all are correlated to assist the painter in meeting his goal in the contemporary art world. lee R.LS.D. ceramist, through instruction in courses of ceramic processes, glazes, chemical formulae, and encouraged experimentation, develops a knowledge and appreciation of art forms. He not only becomes competent in making pottery shapes but reveals a keen sense of design and a realization of the importance of understanding and control in working with his fellow beings. His close and constant association with clay gives him an earthy outlook on the essentials of life as he meets the challenge of progress. sculpture | tears shapeless beginnings there emerges in orderly fashion that called sculpture. Insensate clay and plaster slowly grow bit by bit. They become impressed with the sculptors’ ideas through the appropriate use of mind and tool. Stone slowly reveals under the chisel its hidden forms. Little sketches in clay rise and fall back into the bin, adding richness and variety to the ferment of ideas. The master comes to see the results of his pupils’ endeavors; he shows them what is real. They learn that sculpture is a never-ending job, that to be a good sculptor one must be a real human being. | om inting £4) Providence Club of Printing House Craftemen A DVERTISING — an integral part of our economy and culture — is a varied and ever-changing field. Its purpose is to inform the public on such diverse subjects as new industrial products, latest books, plays, concerts, exhibits, charities. The artist must be able to convey a message clearly and directly through a visual image. Thus, in his four year training he develops his creative talent and technical skill, learns the methods of production, and studies the theory and psychology of selling. Advertising occupies a prominent place in the modern environment, and it is up to the designer to make it a thing of usefulness and beauty. ees =. = = = —r Cs bio 7) RRA IN | | | | | | | | | | L D ce i TR PRODUCTION ven ah D Wwaaee TES _ andes arounne 2 me ite salt ip mn i ee JAMES BEATTIE ‘CHARLES M.

Yet today, nearly every consumer product and its packaging are styled by an industrial designer When products are designed by the artist, they are seldom adaptable for mass production; but when they are designed by the engineer, as they were early in this century, the results are often unusually ugly. The successful industrial designer must combine the creative ability of the artist with the industrial know-how of the engineer to develop products that are not only attractive, but functional and economical as well. Today, thanks to designers working in industry, beau- tiful products are available to everyone. Ike size of a gear, the motion of a cam, the thickness of a casting, the size of a screw, the appreciation of metal fabrication, special formulas in mathematics, and a study of mechanics—all are relatively uncom- plicated. Yet, it is only through the acquisition of a sound knowledge of these basic factors and the proper application of them that the student is transformed into a machine designer capable of producing the complicated machinery which has become so symbolic of- today. ase!

Having had a background of the fine and liberal arts plus textile designing and other textile courses, he can apply this training to the creation of new fabrics, woven and printed. In essence, the weave structure or printed pattern is designed and takes effect on small scale work such as on hand looms, Jacquard SS or silk screen. Thus, the designer is involved with artistic ]| expression through practical application. _ ee Se Beer Oe eee, Sl} Ss) fu tL if feat (e=)} z 3 coe ow Seo ee mead | ters awl . % senses Lawes ace ; xtile anutacturing t HE skill and technical know-how that are obtained in becoming a textile engineer has not come just from reading in the classrooms about textile technology and manufacturing. In addition to being well founded in the theoretical and academic aspects of yarn manufacturing, weaving, blending fibers, and textile testing, many hours are spent in the weave shop experimenting on different looms and products, plus more work in the cotton and wool labs adjusting and running machinery for different types of fibers. Such training will, in the future, benefit the engineer as he enters the textile industry. DAY Cy CAPS 5 TSGOLBE N79 ah errata 27.7498 2 2, LAY 5 f . 2 5 ? ? . Py ° . : f + - ° Seuss a pee From out of the test tubes and dyeing beakers have come the information and techniques that will be applied in plant dyeing and textile chemistry. In becoming fully equipped and competent textile chemists, experimental and analytical chemistry are not only practiced, but also, extensive training is given in the various phases of cloth development, dyeing and finishing fabrics, testing textiles, and related subjects. This solid foundation enables chemistry and color majors to be well prepared in entering the textile field. A bite instruction in the Apparel Design Department presents an accurate cross section of the garment industry. During the first year, mass production methods are stressed, with simplicity and low cost manufacturing as the primary attributes of design. With each year, production standards rise, as does the intricacy of design, culminating in the high styling of top level work. These actual trade tech- niques are supplemented by equally broadening courses in fashion trends, sketching, and costume evolution, all of which give the graduate of this department a solid background for the competitive world of fashion.

LICHTBLAU RCHITECTURE is five years of plans, eleva- tions, perspectives, sections, and models that have produced experts in every phase of shelter and land design. On the practical side, steel and concrete structures have been designed from the bottom-up and the top- down. The mysteries of heating, plumbing, and how the architect avoids constant lawsuits, have been probed. Then the architect is ready to become a draftsman, to learn what is and what is not possible in practice, and to meet the monster “General Contractor.” 4th year students landscape architecture ‘Lue landscape architect deals with problems of outdoor physical environ- ment; that is, how best to use the land. His training enables him to co-ordinate such diverse elements as earth, all forms of plant life, outdoor construc- tion, open space, and the general form and character of the landscape.

He reviews the basic aims of Foundation Design and applies them practically in design- ing playgrounds and planning exhibitions. Through additional courses in educational psychology, philosophy, sociology and history of education, he is prepared for the trials and tribulations of his great undertaking. sitio As ay 4. ALBERT E. SIMONSON, Chairman academics Abe academic courses are invaluable in rounding out the educational development of the RISD student. He acquires not only a design training enabling him to become a craftsman in one specialized field, but also a design education. He becomes an individual with the ability to understand and solve the problems which will confront him in his chosen profession. 32 ey tig reed penne te JOSEPH S.

Grant, the Glee Club has grown to unprecedented proportions both in number and vocal quality. In addition to its annual Christmas and Spring concerts, the club has been heard weekly on radio. Boasting a healthy variety of music, the members revel in a bit of everything from Bach down to current Broadway favorites. Singing for the pure fun of it, the Glee Club has brought the vibrancy of music into closer correlation with design and living. “NE of the liveliest groups around school is the Ski Club, whose members thrive in wintertime and feast their eyes only avid ski bugs, but many have joined for the fun and social activities promoted by the club. This year’s social calendar included “Carnival”, which was so successful that many predict it will become an annual event. Of course, the first love of all is for ski trips, this year being the most ideal as RISD headed north for Jackson, Cannon Mt. and a special treat of late Spring skiing at Stowe, Vt. mAgt A Brbag A FTER the close of a hectic week of exams, nothing is more welcome than a complete period of relaxation — for example, “Take A Break” — the one weekend in the year when anything goes and everyone does. The festivities for ’52 began on Friday night with a formal dinner and dance at the King Philip ballroom in Wrentham where Loraine Tucker was crowned queen of the weekend. ., iL Saturday evening, the fourth edition of the “Varicose Varieties” was presented from the stage of the Auditorium to a most receptive audience. The laughter continued at the informal dance at Rhodes Annex. Sunday afternoon the weekend officially drew to a close with Frankie Rao and his sextet giving a fine rendition of old Dixieland jazz.

MacCready librarian RHODE ISLAND SCHOOL OF DESIGN ALUMNI ASSOCIATION Providence KS RISDO Rhode Island To the Class of 1952 — Our desire at all times is to keep you informed about your R.1I.S.D. Alumni As- sociation and to acquaint you with what the Association really is, what it stands for, and what its present plans, projects and operational functions are. Our membership includes 3000 living graduates and former students of the School. The objective of your Association, as stated in its Constitution, shall be to provide and maintain closer relations between you and Rhode Island School of Design; to aid the School in the promotion of education in the fine, applied and industrial arts; to keep you informed on the progress of the School and its needs, and to encourage financially or otherwise any material assistance for ad- vancing the best interests of R.I.S.D. It is realized that only a small percentage of the people of our nation really know about R.I.S.D. Therefore, the Association through its quarterly publica- tion, ALUMNI BULLETIN, and its chapters, is encouraging an active, growing body of men and women, alert and well informed on School progress and needs, to assist us in an approved and planned public relations program. Our increase in size and operational functions in recent years together with the subsequent labor and materials costs is a heavy burden for the Association and School to bear. Especially when it is realized that the School continues to underwrite the cost of our Alumni Office, personnel, and the BULLETIN. We, therefore, solicit annual contributions inStead of dues from you in order that sufficient income may be available for scholarship aid to worthy students. Also, in answer to the often repeated question, What can I do to heIp Rhode Island School of Design? . We say -- first, by representing the School in your community as the best possible citizen you can be. Second, by placing yourself in a position to know what is going on at R.I.S.D. and being able to answer in- telligently questions raised by candidates, parents of candidates, and others interested in your School. Join your local chapter, keep us informed as to change of address, your work, visit R.I.S.D. as often as you can, come back for Take-A-Break and the Annual Reunion in June, and contribute to the Alumni Fund annually, if you can. The foundation of all future alumni activities rests upon your loyalty and be- lief in our institution, and we hope we have implanted in your minds and hearts the idea of educational support and a feeling of responsibility toward American education. Good luck!

AN EASY WAY TO LOWER LOOM MAINTENANCE COSTS HE Pansy Weaving Mills of Pawtucket, R. I., has anchored all of its looms with Unisorb. Mr. N. Pansy says: “We are extremely pleased with the results of this installation. We wondered at first whether Unisorb would hold looms to a concrete floor without lag screws, but find that it does the job satisfactorily. The vibration and shock of the looms have been reduced tremendously, and we are confident that our cost of machine mainte- nance will be greatly reduced. We highly recom- mend the use of Unisorb for all textile machinery installations.” The simple, quick, inexpensive way to anchor your looms is to cushion-mount them on Unisorb. A special cement securely binds the Unisorb to the machine feet and floor, and permanent set prevents any possible riding of the loom. Send for samples and complete information.
