PURPOSE OF THE BULLETIN


 The purpose of this bulletin is to promote art education in all the schools of Florida
through creative experiences in the classroom and- to:


* Make it possible for a school to have a good art program even
where there is no special art teacher.


* Help the classroom teacher who has had little or no specialized
art training but upon whom falls the responsibility for art education.


* Assist the teacher by providing means which will free her from
any set course of study or rules and regulations and which will help
her to see that the teaching of art is not too different from anything
else she has ever taught, but depends largely upon her sympathetic
guidance.

e Help the specialized art teacher strengthen her program and
make it possible for her to have adequate support and encourage-
ment.


* Show the need for the cooperative efforts of teachers, adminis-
trators, parents, and the community, both in seeing that sufficient
materials and equipment are provided, and that child art is encour-
aged, rather than adult art or pattern work.
