| TEXT | Among the various sources of education which have a fixed and acknowledged value, a high position must be awarded to art schools. In common with other educational establishments they awaken the mind to the reception of the knowledge of art, and exert an excellent effect and prepare the student for an active career in painting, drawing and modelling. The art school, presided over by Misses A. H. & A. W. Osgood, whose extensive and admirably equipped studios are located at Nos. 14 to 20 Domestic Building, corner of 14th Street and Broadway. is entitled to a prominent place in our " REVIEW", not only by reason of the high reputation it justly enjoys, but also on account of the ability displayed by its principals and its interesting record. It was founded several years ago, and since its inception has always commanded a liberal and influential patronage, especially from teachers from the South and West. The purpose of the school is well defined. It is prepared to give not only a thorough course of instruction when it is desired, but pupils are received who wish to pursue art as an accomplishment. The number of lessons is optional with the pupil, who will receive individual attention, and may enter the classes at any time. The course of instruction comprises mineral painting upon china in heads, figures, landscapes and flowers; painting upon plush, silk, satin, plaques, panels, screens, etc., in which pupils receive individual instruction; photograph coloring in oil and water colors; special instruction in painting on tapestry; landscape in oil and transparent water colors; sepia or other monochrome studies; landscape and interiors from nature and copy; special instruction in the principles of light and shade as applied to objects; drawing from casts; painting from objects; theory and arrangement of colors explained; flowers from nature and copy; a course in the latest designs and novelties in decorative art modelling in imitation of the finest barbotine, limoges, and palissy wares - no glazing or firing necessary; is inexpensive, and can be learned in a few lessons. Altogether there is no doubt of the high character of the art instruction imparted in this course, and few art schools in this country give such a thorough and complete course of instruction as that obtained under the direction and tutelage of Misses A. H. and A. W. Osgood. Our object is to call the attention of art students to the excellence and advantages of this particular establishment and the signal ability of the lady principals, ample evidence of which is afforded by the constantly increasing attendance and by their past and present prosperous career, they having given eight thousand lessons last year, an increase of two thousand over the preceding one. The studios in 14th Street and Broadway are open from October 1 to July 1, but the branch at Clarendon Park. Broadway, Saratoga Springs, is available for pupils only from June 1 to September 15. |
