RICHARD REDGRAVE, R.A.
The SPRING SESSION will COMMENCE on 1st of MARCH, and end 31st of July; and the Fees are for that period.
1. The Courses of Instruction are intended to impart systematically a knowledge of the scientific principles of Art, especially in its relation to the useful purposes of life. A limited application of those principles is demonstrated with the view of preparing Students to enter upon the future practice of the Decorative Arts in Manufactories and Workshops, either as Masters, Overseers, or skilled workmen. At the same time, instruction is afforded to all who may desire to pursue these studies without reference to a preparation for any special Branch of Industry. Special Courses are arranged in order to train persons to become Masters of Schools of Art, and to enable Schoolmasters of Parochial and other Schools to teach Elementary Drawing as a part of general Education concurrently with Writing.
