What a wonderful opportunity! I'm very curious to know if any of you came across art prints from CM's time used for picture study and if they were printed in black and white? Her comment in vol. 1 on page 309 has given me that impression (and it wouldn't be a surprise with the economics of the printing process of her day): "It is a mistake to think that colour is quite necessary to children in their art studies. They find colour in many places, and are content, for the time, with form and feeling in their pictures." Thank you! Beth S.
