Marion Richardson

Marion Elaine Richardson (9 October 1892 – 12 November 1946) was a British educator and author of books on penmanship and handwriting.

[4] She developed her own child-centred methods for teaching art which encouraged self-expression and allowed the pupils to evaluate their own work.

[1] An exhibition of her Dudley pupils' artwork in London in 1923–24 attracted much interest and created a greater demand for her work.

[1] In 1924 she returned to Dudley part-time and lectured at the London Day Training College to trainee art teachers.

[1][7] Sir Kenneth Clark wrote in his introduction that "I believe that I recognise the same tone of voice which I hear in the dialogues of St. Catherine of Sienna.

[11] The personal papers of Marion Richardson are held in the Birmingham City University Art and Design Archives.
