 File — Box: 30.5

Scope and Contents

From the Sub-Series:

In 3 volumes. Mostly Design type drawings, fractures, etc. in pencil, probably traced, but no explanation given. Each sheet gives a sample of the students work, usually 4 items, and includes the student’s name, age, usually the teachers name, and sometimes the school. The Third/Fourth Grammar has a few interior perspective studies and drawings of objects, plus the first item, an exterior sketch of Central High School” by Grove Antrim(?). Compare with Owen Jones “Grammar of Ornament,” which was first published in 1856, and may have influence this project. Was this type of study typical of schools throughout the country, or unique to Grand Rapids?
