140 ART EDUCATION. 
divided into parallel sections. Drawing-materials are furnished 
to the pupils free of Charge. The attendance rose from twenty 
pupils in 1850 to flve hundred and eight at present, which is suffi- 
cient evidence of the prosperity of the school. At the yearly 
exhibitions, premiums are awarded for the best drawings. 
The specimens shown at Vienna were taken from the following 
classes : Class I. Elements of freehand drawing from Salomann’s 
wall-charts, very neat in execution; Class II. Continuation of 
outline Ornament and exemplary practice in object drawing; 
Classes III. and IV. Drawing with various materials, partly 
from good copies, partly from more complicated models. There 
were Ornaments from casts (mostly Renaissance) among the 
drawings, of brilliant execution, and also well-executed lieads 
and flgures (from the antique). 
The section for decorative painting exhibited some specimens 
(in body colors), the bulk of which were in Frencli täste. 
Linear drawing is practiced very systematically and thoroughly. 
The elements of geometry are succeeded by projection, with 
immediate application to practical cases; this is followed up by 
the construction of shadows and of perspective, in which latter 
the various methods in use are brought to the knowledge of the 
pupils. 
Drawing for specialties is principally practiced in architecture 
and in machine-building, and many very excellent specimens were 
exhibited in both branches. 
It was only to be regretted that the space allotted to the speci 
mens of this institution was so cramped, as to make it difficult to 
survey them as a whole. It is evident, however, that correct 
methods are employed in all the branches, and the results of 
instiuction, as far as ^ubmitted, deserved undivided jwaise. 
Norway did not exhibit in the educational group; and in indus- 
try it was also represented only by its national productions, which 
served merely to show the traditional native taste. The carvings 
did not exhibit any special peculiarities of form, nor was there 
any thing to be seen in them of a peculiar style of Ornament. 
.The laces, embroideries, and textile fabrics showed more indi- 
viduality in design, certain geometrical forms prevailing in the 
latter, while the colors were selected not without taste. The 
Norwegian jewelry is uncouth and inartistic.
