Oxford Wl plans to update livestock
photos for schools
Art, agriculture, education, live
animals at the London Art Gallery,
rural, urban, understanding and
heritage. What does all that have to
do with Women’s Institute? It’s the
Butler Project.
In the 1930’s Ross Butler a
leading Canadian artist was con
tracted by the Ministry of Educa-
tion to produce pictures of dairy
animals, cattle and horses. These
were distributed to every school in
Ontario for teaching use. The
Federal Government procured the
series for use in all provinces.
Over the years these pictures
have been lost and some are out
dated as they apply to modern
agriculture. A committee of Oxford
County Women’s Institute mem
bers has set its goal to donate good,
clear livestock pictures with bilin
gual information and teacher
guides to all Ontario schools. In the
future these pictures will be
available to all Canadian provin
ces.
Between April 12 and May 10 a
sample of Ross Butler’s work is on
display at the London Art Gallery.
From there it will go on tour
starting in Woodstock and Ottawa
and then throughout Ontario. In
thiswayruraland urban groups
will share a common theme
through art and agriculture.
On April 12 the Oxford County
Women’s Institute arranged for
animals to be on display at the
London Art Gallery. At the same
time in co-operation with the
London Board of Education Art
Consultant a series of children’s
art entitled “Down on the Farm’’
was on display at the Art Gallery.
Those children who came on
opening day had a chance not only
to see their own art work on display
at the Art Gallery, but a chance to
see some of the original Ross
Butler paintings, but also a chance
to pat and feel real farm animals.
The Women’s Institute’s promo
tion of agriculture through art
benefits both rural and urban
people.
