* The utilitarian aspect of a design refers to its useful properties. In designing and making bookends, care should be given to making them heavy enough to support books. In making a flower-pot, size should be considered so that roots may grow well. * Many materials may be used in planning design projects. Besides clay, wood, metal, paper, and cloth, which have already been sug- gested, there are leather, reed, paint, and many kinds of scrap materials. * Qualities to be fostered are inventiveness, imaginativeness, and dis- crimination in visual judgment.
