What pleasure to paint a window like this, beautiful in shape, beautiful in color!

Draw a two-inch square. On this lay tablets—the inch square in the center, with semicircles about it. Draw around it. Draw around the semicircles.

Paint the shape with water. Drop in the fresh colors and let the water blend them.

Finish with the dark edge.

In the two bright circles of color, point out the six rainbow colors: yellow, orange, red, violet, blue, green.

Find in the circles the color that is between yellow and orange. These two colors are blended in one, named yellow-orange. Find the color between red and orange. What two colors are blended in red-orange?

Find the color between red and violet, named red-violet. Why? Find blue-violet.

Find blue-green. What two colors blend to make yellow-green? Find it in the circles.

How many of these colors are in your stained glass window? Paint another window, and watch the colors come.

Draw or paint a picture of the animal you know best.

Draw or paint a row of these shapes, all just alike.

Take pictures of your animal as it looks when it stands; sits up; lies down; walks or runs.

On an eight-inch square of paper draw sixteen two-inch squares. In the center of each, lay an inch tablet. Draw around it.

With the pencil, color the squares like the squares in the picture.

Look at bowls at home and in stores. Choose the shape you like best. We will make one out of clay.

Does it not seem strange that you can make a lump of moist clay into a beautiful bowl?

With the thumbs, press a deep hollow in the lump of clay for the inside of the bowl. Press and pull up the outside into the shape you wish. If you need more clay, work in a small lump at a time.

Let the bowls stand one day to dry. Then wash the inside with a glaze. When the bowl is very dry, it is ready to be baked in the kiln.

This clay match-safe is not so easy to make as the round bowls we have made.

Shape a lump of clay like a square prism. With the thumbs, press the hollow inside until the bottom is like an oblong tablet.

Press and pull the walls into good
