THE STUDIO SKETCHING for Pleasure and Profit By Percy V. Bradshaw. (Founder and Principal of the Press Art School) When I founded the Press Art School —twenty-two years ago—I based my Teaching on entirely new and inspiring principles . . . the practical value of which has been amply proved by the achievements of my Pupils. I felt certain that, with the correct training, the veriest beginner could be taught to sketch, easily, happily and successfully. Experience has confirmed my conviction . . . during those twenty-two years I have helped a large number of amateur Sketchers to professional success. To-day the possibilities are greater than ever before. Magazines, advertisements, the illustrated journals, are all making increasing demands upon the Artists who are capable of producing the kind of work which is wanted . . . The kind of work which pays. It is, however, as a never-ending source of pleasure and interest that my Courses make their widest appeal. There is a joy in Sketching which none but Artists know. There is no Hobby to compare with it. With a pencil and Sketchbook, life takes on a new meaning—seems more worth while. From the very first lesson, my Courses will bring increasing happiness into your leisure hours, as they have done for other men and women all over the world. If Sketching interests you, or if you feel that you are not getting the return you should from your spare time, send for my Prospectus. It will show you how simple, how really fascinating Sketching can be, when correctly taught. Read the experiences of other Pupils of mine. Many of these are now in the leading ranks of Illustrators and Commercial Artists . . . my Pupils’ work appears in every illustrated publication of note. ATTRACTIVE OFFER TO NEW PUPILS To encourage new Pupils to enrol, I am making an inducive offer, for a short time only. A p.c. will bring full particulars of this together with my free Prospectus, telling you all about my Courses. Address: Percy V. Bradshaw, PRESS ART SCHOOL Dept.

THE STUDIO CRAFTSMANSHIP BEFORE the age of the machine, the world, and especially Great Britain, was full of craftsmen; men who could handle the tools of their trade, whose interest was in their work and whose pride was in the creation of their own hands. There was, too, a personal element and a common bond between employer and employed which created sympathy, mutual understanding and goodwill. The machine has changed all that. Gone is the personal bond between employer and employed. Gone is the craftsman, with his pride of production, and in his place we have made a nation of machine-minders, whose work is for the most part purely mechanical, like that of the man from Ford’s in the well-known yarn, whose job it was to screw up nut number so-and-so. Is not this the cause, at any rate, of some of the prevailing unrest? It is impossible to arouse enthusiasm for a mechanical routine action which does not call for the exercise of mind as well as hand. Thus the mind becomes stale for want of occupation, and the hands unskilled for lack of use. Stimulants in the form of purchased entertainment are unprofitably sought as a means of killing the resultant boredom and restlessness. The age of machinery is an accomplished fact, and we cannot go back. New discoveries and competition press us ever onward. Is not this a reason for striving to promote interest in and appreciation of the arts and crafts? By so doing we provide an alternative to soul-destroying routine, we stimulate the search for beauty in everyday things, we encourage the routine worker to emulate the craftsman in the use of mind and hand, and in so doing we promote the dignity of labour, we make it possible to find amusement and recreation from within ourselves, we counteract unrest, and promote national and international fellowship and goodwill.
