PHLOX MOTIF— MRS. BROWNE 
FOUR WINDS SUMMER SCHOOL WORK 
Kathryn E. Cherry. 
THE study of design in the Summer School was not the first 
desire with the student, for many felt it necessary to take 
home with them as many pieces of decorated china as the time 
would permit, these to be used in their classes for their winter's 
teaching. However an effort was made to give the student some 
knowledge of the principles of design and the applying a given 
motif in rhythmic line and space fiUing. 
The first lessons were devoted to space filling, using a Per- 
sian motif, placing it in various outlines spaces, as the illustra- 
tion shows, then tone value, then color value and variation of 
same was carried out. Later the phlox from the gardens about 
us was brought into the studio, a careful study was made of the 
natural flower and the growth of it. This flower was the motif 
used throughout our summer's work; it was conventionalized in 
various spaces, then these same designs were done in tones and 
colors. The phlox played an important part as a motif in de- 
signs executed in the ceramic classes, being especially useful for 
the etching and dusting pieces.
