Red Orange. 
Red Orange is nearly the color of scarlet. 
There are several flowers that may assist in 
teaching this color. What has been said 
about the red violet applies also to the red 
orange. The pupils should review the nor- 
mal red and orange before taking up the 
red orange. After the color has been care- 
fully studied the pattern should be drawn. 
Among the many pleasing combinations of color met with in Greek 
designs, the following are a. few of those in which red orange is used. 
Red orange, blue and gold. 
Red orange pattern upon a light orange yellow ground, enlivened 
with a light blue sparingly used. 
A red orange ground with a light orange yellow pattern was used 
in many Pompeian color combinations. 
The Byzantines used a red orange ground with black designs, 
which they usually separated with a slight band of white. 
The Turks used red orange and black designs upon a light orange 
yellow ground. Red orange, blue and gold are the colors used largely 
in Moresque ornament, occasionally relieved with white or black. 
To fold and cut the Pattern. 
i. Fold the opposite corners of the square together. 
2. Fold again the same way. 
3. Fold the same way a third time. This will give a right-angled 
triangle of eight thicknesses of paper. 
4. Divide the edges that form the right angle, each into three 
equal parts. 
5. Draw a line from the point nearest the solid corner to the one 
nearest to the right angle. 
6. Cut along the drawn line. 
To draw the Pattern. 
Draw the diagonals and diameters of the square. 
Divide each side of the square into three equal parts. 
Fix points on the diameters a slight distance from the center of 
the square. 
4. Draw the V shaped figures. 
5. Strengthen the lines that need it.

Yellow Orange. 
''Yellow Orange or gold color as an element of surface decoration 
occupies a negative place, as a cold yellow 
pigmentary color is seldom used as a surface 
covering, except when it is a substitute for 
gold. Gold and its imitations form a com- 
mon material for surface covering, and they 
have a striking effect when used for nail- 
heads, mouldings, picture frames, and linear 
surface ornaments." 
"In Moresque art red, blue and yellow are the principal colors, but 
the yellow is usually gold. In Egyptian ornamental painting yellow 
takes its place the same as the other colors, and not as a substitute for 
gold. In the art of ancient Assyria, yellow occurs principally as the 
color of seams, trimmings, fringes and tassels. As symbolic 
colors gold and yellow were in Christian symbolism emblems of 
faith. The sun, gold and yellow, were the symbols of divine love, 
enlightening the human understanding, and it is in this sense that 
Solomon says that the head of the wise is of the purest gold. The 
ancients compared to gold that which they judged faultless and ex- 
ceedingly beautiful. In China also, yellow is the symbol of faith." 
Colors are not now used symbolically in Christian art. 
To teach Yellow Orange. 
Teach this color by using objects, pictures, flowers, fruit, colored 
crayon, gilt moulding, etc., and also by comparing and contrasting 
it with the normal yellow and orange. The orange, pumpkin, mari- 
gold, autumn leaves, nasturtiums and similarly colored objects, will 
be useful helps in fixing permanently in the minds of the pupils the 
exact color of yellow orange. 
To fold the Pattern. 
1 . Fold the same as for the last exercise. 
The drawing of this exercise is so simple that no explanation is 
needed.
