Dark Blue. 
Review normal blue, and fix its color clearly in the minds of the 
pupils before attempting to teach its tints and 
shades. By distributing small squares of 
several tints, shades and hues of blue to each 
pupil, and requiring them to select the 
normal color, the lesson may be made more 
interesting and instructive. 
The color of normal blue is that of dry 
ultramarine, a pigment found in nearly all 
paint shops, and used extensively in painting. Any blue that is less 
luminous than the normal color is a shade of blue. Dark blue is, 
therefore, a shade of blue. 
To fold and cut the Pattern. 
i. Bring the opposite sides of the square together. 
2. Bring its opposite ends together. 
3. Without opening it, fold for its diagonal, which should extend 
from the raw to the solid coiner. 
4. Draw a straight line from the middle of the folded side to the 
raw corner. 
5. Cut along this line. 
The patterns that follow this are all folded in the same way. 
To draw the Pattern. 
Draw the square. 
Draw its diagonals. 
Bisect each side and draw its diameters. 
Divide the diameters into four equal parts, by placing points 
halfway between the middle of the square and each side. 
Connect these points with the corners of the square by straight 
lines, beginning at the upper left corner of the square.

Dark Violet. 
teach dark violet as suggested for dark blue, 
before folding or drawing it. Teach it by 
comparison or association with objects that 
are like it in color, and encourage the pupils 
to observe the colors of clouds, flowers, insects 
and wall decorations, for indications of this 
color. A collection of objects can be easily 
made by the aid of the pupils that will be 
extremely helpful in this work. 
To fold and cut the Pattern. 
Fold as in the preceding exercise, and then without unfolding 
it, mark out the outline as shown between A and B. 
The patterns are given in the back of the book to mark these 
different exercises out by so that they may just fit the printed 
outlines. They are arranged so that they may be cuN from the 
page as they are needed. 
To draw the Pattern. 
Draw the sqnare. 
Draw its diagonals. 
Bisect each side and draw its diameters. 
Draw the semi-circles that are tangent to the middle of each side. 
Begin the drawing with the curve at the top, next the one on the 
left side, then the one on the right side and lastly the one at the 
bottom. 
Draw the angles from the corners of the square in this order ; the 
one at the upper left corner first, then the one at the upper right 
corner, next the one at the lower left corner, and finish by draw- 
ing the one at the lower right corner.
