The clips include color video of some of the faculty of 1950s American illustrators, along with Walt Reed, who was one of the faculty helpers, and Elwood Smith and Howard Cruz, who took the course.

I found this course for less at ABE Books, then found it in PDF format on SCRIBD. Excellent material. I will be looking at this for a long time.

Someone in my house has the three books available in the course, but she's not letting me have all of them. :-(

Where can I download the Famous Artists TEST? I want to give it to a prospective student.
