INVISIBLE COLOR BOOK LEARN TO DRAW so you can make little pictures of your own to color like the INVISIBLE pictures are colored in this book. Read carefull ) instgv.tions and you will quickly see how your Art teacher has drawn the objects suggested here. ully the following DRAWING is simply marking with a pencil, chalk or crayon on paper or your blackboard, or any given surface, the positions, shapes and size’, - of the objects you see, or the things you think about and like to draw, by using lines, angles and surves. Lesson 18 In using’ the lines, angles and curves of the simple shapes—A, Circle; B, Square, and C, Triangle, as we have done in the picture here, you can see how easy it is to make or imitate the simple shapes of al- most anything you wish. For ex- ample, with pencil and paper to draw a few objects; a house, a tree, or the automebile; remember the circle, square and triangle while you draw, and notice the lines, angles and curves of each as you make your picture. Next week I will tell you of two kinds of draw- ing.

Sometimes I get it, an’ sometimes I don’t.” “You do what?” “Shine—black boots, you know, another of the kids with you?” “Bless my heart, I'd almost forgotten about mother, an’ there’s no knowin’ whether she stayed where I left her or not. What with losin’ my money, an’ gettin’ into a row with them pesky boys, I'm kind’er' mixed up. It went out of my mind for a minute that mother must be got home somehow, which is where the rest of us ought to be, though I declare I don’t know how it's to be done. S’pdeen you come along with us, unless you're in a hurry.” . “There ain’t any rope tied to me this afternoon. Business was dull, an’ Y. knocked off work quite a spell ago.” " “Then you haven't got anythirl:g to do the balance of the day?” “It don’t look like it.

Drawing without a knowledge of what they see, m-} sults in simply copying, and teaches them very little. The lessons will advance each week, and if kept in a scrapbook with their drawings, will be of value to them as they p: gress.
