fr ~ Art Classes Outlined As Culture Project For Young Children
Mrs. Arthur Woodward to Direct Experiment for 4-and-6-Year-Olds at Her Home During the Winter.
By VIRGINIA MOORHEAD MANNON
September, just around the corner, is the pretty - generally accepted season for starting a variety of enterprises. Ideas, which have been simmering gently during languid summer months, suddenly begin to seethe, and a busy winter’s program is launched. ; Mrs. Arthur Woodward, as far as we can learn, is the first person in this country to invade the field of teaching art to young children. She is preparing to imbue a group of 4 to 6-year-olds with the urge to put their artistic reactions to the world about them on paper. She intends to roll back the rugs and set up diminutive folding work tables and drawing boards right in her own house where the classes are to be held. s ; : This pioneer endeavor she explains as “an experiment in culture - building, to teach thé child to express itself through drawing, painting and crafts and to enrich its life through expressing this instinctive urge.” The project is based upon the theory of the celebrated Viennese professor, Franz Cizek, who advocates letting the child draw and leading it rather than imposing formal lessons and plans. The method is original with Mrs. Woodward. The children are to make illustrations of their favorite nursery rhymes and tales in pastels, water colors or clay and, as part of the plan to bring out native juvenile creativeness, they will choose their own media of expression. The “curriculum” is to include a music hour with a toy orchestra and songs especially chosen for rhythm. play. Since art and music are so closely related, a part of the plan is teaching the youngsters to work rhythmically, Mrs. Woodward says. For instance, they will make designs by guiding their pencils as the music impels them. On the more practical side, in the late fall they are to make Christmas card sketches which their proud parents can have made into wood blocks, thereby gratifying the holiday impulse to spread universal cheer.
v Craft work is to center around painting scenery and making costumes for a puppet show. In the interest of safety Mrs. Woodward expects to do the carving of the doll’s heads. Thomas Hart Benton might have a few uneasy moments if he knew that murals are also to be attempted. In conjunction with a discussion of their fine points the stories of the world’s masterpieces are to be told in an effort to instill early appreciation of the beautiful. Home work is to consist of juvenile interpretations of familiar domestic scenes such as mother ironing (or dealing a hand of bridge), father cutting the grass (or putting a golf ball on the living room rug), and sister playing with dolls or going out for a swim. While such drawings will be neither skilfully done nor technically correct, they will be the child's own work uninfluenced by grown-ups, Mrs. Woodward explained. “Every child instinctively knows how to draw and he will be better balanced physically and mentally and will do better work in school after having this early training. All children are creative; it is merely a matter of bringing out and directing the instinct. If it is not encouraged, it recedes. Creative ability is patticularly high
