home and school coun cil held in the charles howitt school richvale on thursday evening last mrs he lemas- urier was in the chair dr cd gaitskell director of art for the ontario depart ment of education was intro duced by mrs pa mcclelland honorary president of york- simcoe home and school council who spoke of the doc tors wide experience and of his influence on the accepted methods of teaching art in on tario school today in his lecture which was ac companied by coloured slides and two short moving pictures in colour showing the contrast between childrens work of the past and present dr gait skell described the experiences the children were showing in their paintings no matter at what age chil dren or for that matter adults begin to use any medium for expression there is the initial period of getting the feel of the medium the speaker be gan getting the feeling of what he is working with pro duces the meaningless results we see in the childs first ef forts they make it first and name it afterward the spea ker has noted first come the random scribble a picture called me playing with the boys showed symbols used for human beings rather than an aim for perfect proportions with more shown in the back ground me in the garden and me at sunnyside showed the use of symbols and environ ment colour of paints used has no particular significance the speaker said merely that it is handy if too sombre just take it away and leave some thing brighter nearby the art the children do to day gives them something no other part of the curriculum does for them to quite the same degree it draws out their thoughts about what they are experiencing in everyday life teaches them to observe and gives them an opportunity to tell about it in their own way that is why it is so important dr gaitskell said teachers now ask the children to tell what goes on around their house on saturday or draw mother talking to dad par ents often wonder what their offspring have brought home and the phrase tell me all a- bout it gives the child en couragement sked if there was any gui dance in the way art is taught in school today dr gaitskell replied that inasmuch as the teacher put the materials tem- pora paint large sheets of pa per brushes and water at the pupils disposal encouraged him to talk the things that happen to him what he him self experiences praised him for the good effort all these tilings are guidance but we dont tell the child what to put in the picture the speaker went on to say that the aim of art today in school was not to turn out artists but to lead the child to observe and think about what he sees and at an earlier age to come to grips with living in discussing old fashioned the cleaner that brings you reacheasy cleaning the amazing swivel top

art the speaker said that the newer method imposes a self discip line upon the child which is simply terrific he decried the use of colouring books to keep children quiet they give the child activity without thought and make him dissatisfied with his own development they bring his creative impulses to a halt dr gaitskell advised putting all the childrens work up somewhere in the house even if it had to be the kitchen and always praising good effort when in doubt get the child to tell me all about it he said mrs o jaques thanked dr gaitskell for his enlightening talk mrs k vizely publica tions
