Part 9

This lesson has been designed as a direct follow-up of Lesson 8.

There is a variety of simple and practical suggestions on the following page—giving the student much actual practice.

If work is being done by classes, the instructor should have similar designs prepared and permit the students to copy from them.

It would be much more practical if such designs could be shown to the students before the class closes on Lesson 8.

These designs are all on white cardboard so that very little extra stock is necessary.

Card No. 1. Size 12×11. Plain white card, air-brushed in black around the oval cut-out. The “turned-down” corner effect was obtained by clipping off the corner and airbrushing a section to represent the portion that would be folded over. The lettering was done with No. 3 round Speed Ball pen, and the figure “4” was outlined in purple.

Card No. 2. Size 11×14 (quarter sheet). Airbrushing was done over a panel with purple ink. The pictures were then pasted on and the lettering done with small size broad point lettering pen.

Card No. 3. Size 7×7. Air-brushed panel background was obtained by “spattering” the color through a “jagged” edged cut-out. Lettering was done with large size round Speed Ball pen.

Card No. 4. Size 9½×20. Plain white cardboard. Faintly decorated panel was made by rubbing in colored chalk dust and outlining this with small pen. Lettering was done with No. 4 round Speed Ball pen.

Card No. 5. Size 11×16. Plain white cardboard. Silhouette was made by transferring the outline of a picture by means of carbon paper. This outline was then filled in with black ink. The border and shading were done in dark red. The lettering was done with small broad lettering pens: a No. 4 Model “C” Speed Ball and a No. 5 Model “C” pen.

INSTRUCTIONS—LESSON NO. 10

Finished Practical Work—General Review

If the work has been conducted by classes, this lesson will serve as a general review, and students should be asked to duplicate the examples shown on the next page.

The general review work should also include work in the simple alphabets with each student making a card with the round speed ball pen, one card with the broad pen, and one simple brush card.

The examples shown on following page should be shown to the class before the close of the previous class session, in order that the proper preparation may be made.

These cards are not difficult, but have been made up with the idea of giving the student an idea of variety—and individuality.

If an air brush is not available, an atomizer, or a simple “spatter” process will serve just as well.

Card No. 1. Size 9¾×14½ inches. The lettered panel was 5×7½ inches. The large part of the card was made by covering a piece of wall board with purple plush and mounting the showcard on it as shown. The showcard itself was of pebble finish, cream colored mat board, lettered in black with the price in white. The border as well as the underscore is also white.

Card No. 2. Size 14×8 inches. The background was light gray; with the mounting in light blue mottled mat board. The lettering was done with the brush, using dark blue ink. The outline was in white.

Card No. 3. Size 10×15 inches. Stock used was linen finish, cream colored mat board; lettering was done in black ink with a wide pointed pen. The border was finished with the air brush, and then striped with white.

Card No. 4. Size 9½×22 inches. Panel was air-brushed in purple; lettering was done with large size round Speed Ball pen; first two lines were underscored in light green. Price was outlined in light green ink.

Card No. 5. Size 8×11¼ inches. Lettering was done with a round Speed Ball pen, and the panel effect with the perpendicular lines was done with the pen, using orange color ink.
