Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Bulletin of the Alabama Girls Industrial School: Domestic Art First and Second Year High School The field covered by Domestic Art is so broad that it is difficult to state all its aims. The following have been prominent in making the course herein described: 1. To make art principles the fundamental basis for all construction work. 2. To relate school life with the life of the home. 3. To allow as great freedom of development as is consistent with intelligent work. Not to teach accuracy at the expense of judgment. 4. To make an introduction to the ethical side of the textile world by a study of the fibers and processes of manufacture as affecting the shopper of today. Discussion. 1. In 1904 a Commission was sent from Prussia to study educational conditions in the United States, with reference to technical instruction and industrial development. In extracts of their reports published in Bulletin No. 2 by The Bureau of Education, there is commendation of our methods of teaching drawing in the elementary schools, but they express great astonishment at finding the evidences of the influence of this drawing so slight in the work of the industrial schools, the high schools, and the American home. "The results of the instruction in the lower grades exceed all expectations. In the advanced grades they do not wholly accord with this auspicious beginning. While the work of the children of eight or nine years is so admirable, the pupils of fifteen or sixteen often offer correspondingly little that is satisfactory." While the above criticism may have been just in 1906, we hope it will be impossible in 1916. The question is sometimes asked us when will all this Domestic Art teaching free us from the slavery of fashion. One answer may be, "Only when physical education and art instruction have so combined forces as to make the individual acknowledge for herself the absurdity of deforming her body and then clothing it in garments showing poor lines, bad proportions, and impossible colors."
