ABSTRACT:
The improved educational teaching and storage system of the present invention comprises a rack having a plate with a plurality of staggered rows of spaced apertures extending therethrough, a plurality of art paintbrushes releasably disposed in the apertures, and indicia associated with the apertures and brushes to permit proper placement of the brushes in the apertures. The brushes can be easily dried, after use, while in the rack and can be stored indefinitely therein. The system is particularly applicable to art students and art classes, primarily classes of younger children, and the present method contemplates having the students withdraw the brushes from the rack and then replace them in the proper apertures for drying and storage, the placing being based on recognition of particular indicia. This improves hand-to-eye coordination and also trains mental skills. The indicia may be in the form of clues as to similar sizes and shapes, or color, or numbers or the like. In one embodiment, the brushes are provided with incidia in the form of removable shape-and-size-imparting sleeves fitted to the lower parts of the brushes. The system and method are simple, efficient and interesting.
