Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Art Education Society and the Home Gardening Association of the Cleveland Public Schools In the year 1896 there was formed a society among the Cleveland teachers, known as the Cleveland Art Education Society. The purpose of the Society was to secure reproductions of the great pictures of the world, foreign and domestic views, for the use of the schools of the city, as a means of educating the children in the appreciation of the beautiful. The following statement from a notice sent out at the time of the formation of the Society explains more fully its purpose: "This is to be done in the belief that the good, the true and the beautiful are at heart one. Pictures are to be placed on the walls of the school rooms, not for the purpose of decoration chiefly, but as a means of culture through their constant, unobtrusive, helpful presence in the room. To have a child sit where his eyes will rest in moments of relaxation from school work upon one of the worlds master pieces is to subject him to a refining and ennobling influence that will tell for good upon his rapidly forming character. Pictures accomplish in this way much that is hard to reach by more direct methods. When once placed in the school, good pictures are a permanent force, influencing successive classes for good without further expense and without interruption to the exercise of the schools.
