THE COLLEGE NEWS
Skinner Workshop
Opens for Artists
Creative talent on campus op-
ened in a new direction with the
Studio Warming sponsored bby the
Art Club last Tuesday. Fifteen
people arrived at the Mrs. Otis
Skinner Theatre Workshop and
met Mr. (Morris Blackburn, newly
appointed instructor. In his lec-
ture, Mr. Blackburn emphasized
the point that each artist sees the
subject (which was at the mo-
ment, Patty Hochschild) in his
own way, which can be quite dif-
ferent from the rendition of .an-
other artist. There were about ten
poses lasting from five to ten min-
utes, during which Mr. Blackburn
helped each girl, by further ex-
plaining his method of all-over ren-
dering. ig]
The next day, there were even
more hopeful artists assembled in
the workshop, which had received
its christening by that time with a
bottle of “India ink, spilled acci-
dentally by an over-eager enthus-
jast. Each one took turns posing
for the rest, who did their sketch-
es, for the most part, with a Jap-
anese brush and ink. The brush
was held at the end, and the stroke
achieved with the movement of the
whole arm. A problem of line
composition was tried. One girl
drew a brush line on her sheet of
paper; the next copied hers and
drew a new one of her own, and
so on until there were about twen-
ty loops and curves ‘on the last
sheet. This was a question of bal-
anced composition, the outcome of
which was very interesting.
These artistic afternoons are
very informal; cookies are passed
around, ¢igarettes smoked. There
was the feeling in the group that
two or three models would help
the work. With Mr. Blackburn as
instructor, the club would appear
to be well under way to a con-
structive future.

the last war.” He also emphasized
the cardinal significance of security
in Russia’s foreign policy, point-
ing out that though Russia’s tech-
nique often lacks subtlety, it has
the boisterous exuberance of
youth. He urged Americans to
make every effdrt to learn more
about Russia and Russian tradi-
tions, knowledge basic to coopera-
tion with them.
Singers Prisent
Ballad Program
Informal folk-singing reigned in
the Common Room Friday night
under the auspices of Monnie Bel-
low, ’47, with two amateur ballad
experts, Mr. Ned Freeman and Mr.
William Pressman, performing
with voice and guitar.
The program included many
well-known ballads, such as “The
Foggy, Foggy Dew,” “Midnight
Special,” “Franky and Johnny,”
and “Blue Tail Fly,” the singers
responding to all the audience re-
quests.
Mr. Pressman, a graduate of
Penn and now a chemist, gathered
his*-repertoire- from travels about
the country, notably in the South.
His co-partner, Ned Freeman,
culled his knowledge of folk music
from records and listening to other
enthusiasts.
