W. Martin Johnson School of Art

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. In this school I have not only considered that side of Art which makes for culture and the broadening of the powers of perception and appreciation, but Art as a means of livelihood, an occupation in which there is a joy in the doing of things. It is to those who have not the time or money to go to an academy that I want to appeal. I have simplified the teaching of drawing, painting and designing and place these crafts upon the same matter-of-fact basis as other callings which engage the brain and brawn of men and women.
