Inspirational Art
Visual Materials
Eight books entitled Inspirational Art, Books 1-8, published by Mentzer Bush & Co., New York, Chicago, Dallas, copyright 1932. Each is approximately 48 pages in length, and can be used independently of one another, although they do have similar sections, such as: picture study, illustrative sketching, modeling and sculpture, lettering, decorative design, famous buildings, and book making. Although not labeled as such, the books progress from relatively simplistic (Book 1) aimed at the younger student, to more complicated, (Book 8) intended for the more sophisticated art student. Although most of the illustrations are black and white, each book contains at least a few color illustrations. These books don't have separate instructions for the teacher; all of the instructions, guidance and suggestions are aimed at the student. The front covers of these books are identical to each other, decorated in a striped black and orange design. The insides of the front and back covers are designs of black and white patterns.
