Light Red. 
Light red is any tone of red that is lighter than the normal color. 
Before beginning the study of this color, 
review normal red so that the pupils will 
have a clear idea of the color which forms 
the basis of comparison with the color to 
be studied. After the review place in the 
hands of each pupil a tint of red. These 
slips need not be more than half an inch 
wide and an inch long. If these slips 
cannot be furnished to each pupil then the 
teacher should have squares or circles of the 
colors mounted upon gray or white card board to place before the 
class while studying the colors. 
A short talk about the uses of the different objects brought in by 
the pupils to illustrate the color, and the advantage secured to the 
object by being colored, may advantageously precede the regular 
work of the lesson, as it will interest the pupils in what they are doing 
and at the same time be the means of giving them many items 
of information about common things. 
The color should be kept before the pupils until they have become 
familiar with it. This may be done by having them name flowers 
and other objects that are nearly the color of the tablet, and by hav- 
ing them sort slips of paper to find those that match the tint that is 
being studied. 
Two of the light red tablets mounted, one upon a black card and 
one upon a white card, will illustrate the effect that a background has 
upon a color. 
The complementary, or contrasting color of red, is blue green, and 
a tint of blue green will harmonize with light red. 
To fold the Square. 
i. Fold for the diameters; do this by bringing the opposite sides of 
the tablet together and pressing the folded edge so as to make a crease. 
2. Open the square and crease in the opposite direction and then 
open it again. 
3. Study the different angles, triangles and positions of lines in the 
tablet. 
To draw the Exercise. 
1. Draw the outline of the square, left side, top line, right side, 
bottom line. 
2. Draw its diameters. 
3. Finish by connecting the adjacent ends of the diameters by 
straight lines. 
Light Orange. 
Light orange is one of the common colors in nature. The sky is 
oftened streaked with it in the morning and 
tinted with it in the evening. It is found 
in many of the pleasing combinations of 
color that beautify our fields and gardens, 
and the name at once recalls several com- 
mon wild flowers and vegetables, as mari- 
gold, nasturtium, and jewel weed, and the 
pumpkin, squash, and also a few insects. 
This is a color that is too bright to be 
used in decoration, except in small quan- 
tities, and in association with other colors. Its various tones are, 
however, favorite colors with gypsies, negroes, Indians, and people of 
primitive tastes generally. 
To teach Light Orange. 
To teach light orange, follow the suggestions given in reference to 
teaching the other colors. Do not hurry the color study, and do not 
change it for other work, until the purpose of the lesson has been 
accomplished. 
To fold the Square. 
1. Fold for the diagonals, opening the square after each fold. 
2. Fold for the diameters, opening the square each time as before. 
3. Fold the outer corners in to the center point. 
To draw the Exercise. 
1 . Draw the square. 
2. Draw its diagonals, the one from the upper left, to the lower 
right corner first. 
3. Draw the diameters. 
4. Connect the adjacent ends of the diameters by straight lines. 
Definitions and Explanations, 
Tone is the intensity of a color or hue. It may be of any in- 
tensity between white and black. 
A tint is a tone of a color that is lighter than its normal or stand- 
ard tone. A shade of a color is a tone that is darker than its 
normal or standard tone. 
The tints and shades of the prismatic colors are produced by in- 
creased or diminished illumination. 
The tints and shades of the pigmentary colors are produced by the 
addition of white or black to the standard colors.
