Normal Yellow. 
The color to be studied having been announced on the preceding 
day, as suggested before, the different yel- 
low objects brought in by the pupils should 
be discussed. The pupils should then be 
required to name yellow objects. 
The yellow objects may be compared 
with the normal yellow, to ascertain which 
are lighter and which are darker in tone 
H than the standard. 
Aurora yellow gives this color in water colors. 
After the pupils have studied the color enough to be familiar with 
it and are able to pick it out from different tones and hues of yellow, 
the square should be folded and mounted. 
Encourage the pupils to notice yellow in nature. There are many 
flowers and a few birds and butterflies that this color will suggest. 
Also have them observe where bright yellow is used in dress goods 
and household decoration, and see what colors are used mostly with 
yellow. 
When yellow is desired in the decorative arts it is almost always 
represented by gold. In Moresque art, where yellow is used exten- 
sively, gold is almost always employed instead of the yellow pigment. 
To fold the Square. 
i. Bring the opposite sides together, color side in, and crease. 
2. Open the square and bring the opposite sides together and 
crease again; then open and mount. The pupils will need to be 
cautioned against using too much glue in mounting the squares. 
Four slight touches, put on with the end of a tooth pick, will answer 
every purpose better than a larger quantity. If paste is used the 
touches will have to be larger. 
To draw the Exercise. 
Draw the square as heretofore explained. 
Bisect each side. 
Draw the vertical diameter. 
Draw the horizontal diameter. 
Normal Green. 
During part of the year green is the most prevalent color in 
nature, and it is much more pleasing in 
nature than it is in art or dress. Many of 
the so-called greens in nature, however, 
incline more towards yellow than green, 
and experiments in out-of-door sketching 
soon convinces the painter that things are 
not as green as they seem. 
For general use the subdued greens, those approaching the grays 
and yellows, are more satisfactory than the brighter ones. 
The Egyptians used green profusely in their decorations, while 
Greeks used it only sparingly. 
Concerning the effect of green upon the complexion, Chevreul 
says that a ''delicate green is favorable to all fair complexions which 
are deficient in rose, and which may have more imparted to them 
without disadvantage. But it is not favorable to complexions that 
are more red than rosy; nor to those that have a tinge of orange 
mixed with brown, because the red they add to the tint will be of a 
brick-red hue. In the latter case a dark green will be less objection- 
able than a delicate green." 
This color should be taught as suggested for the colors already 
given. 
Let the pupils pick green leaves and compare their colors with the 
normal green, also have them notice wheie this color is used in art 
and dress, and what colors are generally used with it. 
To fold and draw the Square. 
i> Bring its opposite corners together and crease. 
2. Study the angles and triangles made by the folding. 
3. Mount it in place. 
4. Draw the square. 
5. Draw its diagonal. This line may be drawn with either an 
upward or a downward stroke.
