N HE educative effect of a study of the Fine Arts can scarcely be over-estimated. In opens the X il N eye to form and color as nothing else can, it trains the hand, refines the taste and cultivates Fil an appreciation of the beautiful. ll is an accomplishment that leaves its record behind it in X I 1 the works that have been wrought out. Knowledge may be forgotten, music may be neglected, li l V ' , but the picture, statue, or imperishable pottery cease not to proclaim the attainments of the student. lt. And not lightly to be estimated is the influence and training that makes for better taste in things bought, f 1' - d thin s used. ' l 'Y 1 an g 5 E li Auguste Rodin, the greatest living sculptor, says, Art is taste. It is the reflection of the artist's X 1 5 rs I , heart upon all the objects that he creates. It is the smile of the human soul upon the house and upon v.,,4 ' all ' the furnishing. It is the charm of thought and of sentiment embodied in all that is of use to man. The Department of Fine Arts of Westminster College is conducted in the most modern methods- ! ' a direct study from life and nature. A severe practice of academic drawing from still-life and from rn 1 the antique is insisted upon. A knowledge of form and how to express it, lies at the basis of all fine it 1'll art, and also enters into much of the works of applied science, hence drawing occupies an important ,svn i I place in the curriculum. The classes in painting work from still-life and from nature, and when sufii- is , 3 3' ciently advanced-from life. l ,ll J sg- ' l The study or the History of Architecture, Sculpture and Painting, is also emphasized. The stu- li dents taking this course have their own collection of reproductions, chosen to illustrate the development l P I of different phases of Art. By analysis the principles which underlie all Art are shown, and thus the ' N student is prepared to enjoy intelligently, the galleries of our own country as well as those of Europe. l The work done by the art students during the year .now closing has been highly gratifying, char- N V ly I acterized, as it has been, by industry, thoroughness, enthusiasm, and ability of high order. I At the end of each semester the work of the students is placed on exhibition, and the public is I All -3 'll cordially invited to inspect the work of the Art Department. ll' idlgii Art is not a luxury, but distinctly a necessity in the developing life of man. It is today as X ,Yi essential to his perfect growth as the elements of food and air. Commercial and Mechanical advance l 'V must not distance the progress of aesthetic culture, if man's greatest promise of happiness is to be X , realized. 3' 383, 1' :Qi If ' . L i t T C w .
