"Art in the School" by Belle Boas, 1926

 

Anne Savage began teaching at Baron Byng High School in 1922. The School was situated in an urban, working class environment with a student population of European immigrants.

When Savage was hired as a teacher she read as much as she could about the teaching of art, including books by Victor D'Amico, Belle Boas, Leon Winslow, Morris Davidson, Marion Richardson and Herbert Read.
