EXERCISE XIX. Decoration. Original Design. Rosette. Recall the points already given in regard to decoration in general and rosettedesigns in particular (pp 6, 31, 64). It would be well to let this new design be planned for a circular field. The unitgiven*for repetition may therefore be repeated either an even or an odd number oftimes. The illustrations given below show several five-leaved rosettes, derived notfrom this particular leaf form, but from flower petals of various The drawing-book page (19) shows the use of the given unit in a border. Foruse in the rosette it may be somewhat modified if desired, becoming narrower orvi^ider as preferred, but keeping its general shape. It is sometimes interesting and profitable to have the first drawing of this designmade on the blackboard, allowing pupils to vote which is best on the whole, and whythey prefer it to others. Let pupils modify and improve their designs as much aspossible when placing them on the drawing-book page. The purpose of the exerciseis not so much to produce a number of entirely dissimilar and equally original designsas to cultivate the eye for beauty and give practice in producing beauty. EXERCISE XX. Decoration. Nature Study. Design based on Natural Growth. Have pupils provided with branches of some vine or other plant. The mc^rning-glory is suggested as particularly beautiful and often obtainable. Blackber
