ART EDUCATION. 
likewise Ornaments from casts, exeeuted in the well-known brilliant 
manner, sometimes grouped together with other objects in small 
groups of “ still life,” frequently quite picturesque, but always 
treated as sbow-pieces. Such work will ever remain a waste of 
time. 
The “ Scuola Tecnica'e Serale ” at Ravenna exhibited large draw- 
ings of Renaissance Ornaments, partly in good outlines, partly in 
India ink; and larger groups*of models and vessels in color, as 
well as pretty architectural pieces. The specimens by the “ Scuola 
Tecnica ” at Treviso stood upon the same level; projection-draw- 
ing in this school is also good, and, as an exception, figure- 
drawing likewise. 
At the “Istituto Tecnico” of Udine constructive drawing and 
descriptive geometry are practiced pretty thoroughly, and are suc- 
ceeded by geoinetrical Ornament (mosaic floors) and the Orders of 
columns ; in freehand-drawing, surface Ornament in color is culti- 
vated more especially. Prettily-drawn Ornaments in pencil and in 
India ink, from the “ Reale Scuola Tecnica e Scuola Festiva,” 
must also be mentioned; but the arrangement of the specimens 
was tolerahly unsystematical. 
Turning now to the South, we must notice first of all the splen 
did achievements of the “ Scuola Tecnica Pareggiata” of Ferrara. 
The drawings of this school, almost exclusively Renaissance 
Ornaments, were exeeuted with admirable delicacy partly in pen 
cil, partly in India ink, and color. Among them those pictures 
of groups of ohjects were again especially brilliant, which find such 
general favor in Italy. In linear drawing there were good studies 
in projection, columns, arches, &c. The achievements in free 
hand-drawing of the “ Scuola Tecnica Diuma ” of Bologne were 
equally good, a stronger emphasis, however, having been laid upon 
colored decoration ; the Institution also submitted good architectural 
drawings. But the specimens of the “ Scuola Tecnica Serale ” of 
the same city were among the most prominent of the whole Exhi 
bition. Among them there were to be found large deeorative 
Renaissance Ornaments (in various styles of execution), represen- 
tations of “ still life ” of amazing virtuosity, flowers, fruit, &c., 
drawings from jewelry of the best period, charming vessels, furni- 
ture ; in short, studies for all branches of art-industry.
