Light Yellow. 
Light yellow is any tint of yellow that is lighter than the normal 
yellow. This, like the other colors, will be 
most successfully taught by having the nor- 
mal color and one tint, and one shade of 
yellow, in the hands of the pupils. These 
colors should be arranged in order from the 
lightest to the darkest. This is called 
scaling. 
As in the previous color exercises, the 
children should bring in and arrange in as picturesque a manner as 
they can, the various yellow objects that they have collected. 
The benefit of this exercise is not so much in the collected material 
as in the training of observation required in making the collection. 
If the pupils will notice the sky at sunrise and at sunset, they will 
often see beautiful tints and shades of color. 
To fold the Square. 
To fold the square for the creases, bring the opposite sides of the 
paper together and press the top and bottom of the middle fold just 
enough to mark the middle points on the opposite sides ; then fold 
from the opposite angles of the square to these middle points. Open 
the paper after each fold. This exercise should be dictated step by 
step, the teacher folding a large square with the class. 
To draw the Exercise. 
First outline a square of the required size; after this is drawn, 
mark the middle of the upper and lower sides. Draw from the upper 
middle to the lower left side angle, and then from the upper right 
side angle to the lower middle point. When this is done, change the 
position of the hand, and draw from the upper left side angle to 
the lower middle point, and from the upper middle to the lower 
right side angle. 
Light Green. 
Nature furnishes a great variety of greens. Most of them, how- 
ever, are lighter than normal green, and 
incline towards yellow in hue. 
This can be shown by having the pupils 
bring in a variety of leaves, which may be 
fastened upon a white surface and studied 
in association with the normal green. 
The most valuable office of green is to 
give brilliancy to a design It combines 
well with gold, and yellows of gold color, but is seldom agreeable 
when used in combination with several different colors. 
A light green pattern upon a dark green ground will be found 
pleasing in effect. The reverse arrangement is not so satisfactory. 
Green is a color that is difficult to handle in large masses, and it 
needs other colors to assist in producing a harmonious effect. 
A light green, or a grayish green, however, usually looks better 
when used upon walls or in other large masses, if used alone or with 
simply a stripe or border of a darker tone of the same color. 
Light green, like blue, is a restful color, and a subdued green 
fatigues the eye the least of any of the colors. 
The pencil tinting shown in the exercises upon this page is not to 
be copied by the pupils, but it is given in each case to indicate the 
shape and position of the square when folded. The folded square 
should be mounted upon the tinted surface and be copied in outline 
by the pupils. 
To fold the Square. 
Bring the opposite sides of the paper together, and keep them in 
place with a touch of glue at each end. Then mount the rectangle 
upon the tinted surface. 
To draw the Exercise. 
Outline the square lightly, then draw its horizontal diameter and 
strengthen the lines of the upper half of the square.
