Orange Yellow. 
This color recalls a class of flowers that are fond of bright sun- 
light, [lowers that challenge rather than invite our attention. Among 
the conspicuous yellow flowers are the 
golden-rods, sunflowers, dandelions, butter- 
cups, yellow pond lilies, nasturtiums, and 
the blossoms of many other familiar plants. 
This color is also prominent in many kinds 
of fruit and vegetables. Some beautiful 
effects of orange yellow are often seen in 
sunsets. The pupils may be asked to 
write the names of as many flowers, insects, fruits, vegetables and 
other things of this color as they can recall, and then the different 
objects named may be discussed and their various uses talked about. 
Orange Yellow is an advancing and an exciting color ; it is also 
classed as a warm color. 
The Greeks used orange yellow designs on a black ground, inter- 
spersed with a smaller pattern of blue green, in a pleasing manner, 
although blue green with orange yellow is considered by colorists to 
be a very poor combination. But in most combinations of colors 
quite as much depends upon the tone of the colors used, and the 
quantity of each, as in the colors themselves. 
To draw the Diaper Element. 
Draw a square of the required size. 
Draw its diagonals. 
Draw its diameters. 
Draw the curves that form the lower sides of the lobes. 
Draw the tops of the side points of the lobes. 
Draw the outer end points. 
These lines should be drawn lightly at first and strengthened after- 
ward .

Green Yellow. 
This is a hue of yellow, being produced in the pigmentary 
colors by the addition of a little green to yellow. This color sug- 
gests ripe apples, cool shades, and sun-lit 
foliage. Although common in plant forms, 
it is seldom met with in flowers. A few 
insects are of a green yellow color, but it 
is a color that is confined chiefly to foliage. 
It is one of the retiring restful colors, 
and for that reason it forms an excellent 
background in art and decoration to bring 
out the effects of orange red and violet, of which it is the opposite. 
It is nature's background for the display of many brilliant effects, 
but used alone its effect is negative, and is seldom satisfactory when 
used in large quantities in dress or interior decoration. 
As light is the source of all color, we quite naturally look for the 
brightest flowers and the most gaily-plumed birds in the warm, bright 
countries lying near the equator, and fewer varieties, and less bril- 
liancy as we approach the polar regions, and in this we are not dis- 
appointed. Nature wears her brightest colors in the sunshine regions, 
and during the sunshine season, and dresses in her somber working 
garb where the heat and light are less intense. 
To draw the Modified Quatrefoil, 
i. Draw the square and its diagonals and diameters, as in the last 
exercise. 
2. Draw the small inner square complete. 
3. Draw the semi-circles between the outer and the inner squares. 
4. Strengthen the parts that form the design.
