Excerpt from Art Education Applied to Industry<br><br>The object of this book is to show the present need of art education in the United States; to relate something of its history in Europe; to ex plain what is meant by its application to industry; and to propose a meth od of instruction best adapted to our people and institutions.<br><br>The broad meaning of the term art education has not always been understood. It is most often used in its relation to the fine arts of paint ing, sculpture, and architecture, as if these higher arts and the industries were not mutually dependent, or as if the boundary which is supposed to separate them were not, in all three of the arts, constantly invaded, so that often the product of the industry may be called a work of art.<br><br>About the Publisher<br><br>Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
