If the work has been conducted by classes, this lesson will serve as a general review, and students should be asked to duplicate the examples shown on the next page.
The general review work should also include work in the simple alphabets with each student making a card with the round speed ball pen, one card with the broad pen, and one simple brush card.
The examples shown on following page should be shown to the class before the close of the previous class session, in order that the proper preparation may be made.
These cards are not difficult, but have been made up with the idea of giving the student an idea of variety—and individuality.
If an air brush is not available, an atomizer, or a simple “spatter” process will serve just as well.

The showcard itself was of pebble finish, cream colored mat board, lettered in black with the price in white. The border as well as the underscore is also white.
