Only in recent years has the Glass been perfected by the addition of two lenses, which enable students to discover mistakes in light and shade and color as surely as the Spirit-level enables them to find mistakes in perspective outline.

Download or read book Drawing and Designing written by Charles G. Leland and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-06 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Drawing and Designing: In a Series of Lessons Mr. Charles G. Leland, in his work on "Practical Education," distinctly insists on the utility, indeed the paramount importance, of a sound and practical rudimentary training, whether in connection with elementary or more advanced technical education. This is becoming daily and increasingly apparent to those who, in their care and training of the young of both sexes, are guided by reason and common sense. Failing such a basis, it is obvious that no process of later cramming is likely to produce equally successful and permanently beneficial results. This series of manuals on "The Minor Arts and Industries" is designed on the lines thus laid down. It will be found that each handbook presents the subject with which it deals in a thoroughly popular and practical manner; that the lessons carry the student on his road step by step from the simplest elements to the point where the most advanced works fitly find their place in his course of study; in short, the greatest pains have been taken to insure a thorough mastery of the rudiments of each subject, and so clearly to state each lesson, illustrating it where necessary by plans and drawings, that even very young children may be interested in and trained to practical work. On similar grounds the self-taught student will find these manuals an invaluable aid to his studies. The present volume on "Drawing and Designing," forms a fitting introduction to such a series.

Download or read book On Drawing and Painting Classic Reprint written by Denman Waldo Ross and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-13 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from On Drawing and Painting IN beginning the study of any art we must learn what materials and terms are properly used in it and what modes of expression. Then we ought to have some practice in using the materials and terms and exercises in the different modes, following the example of the masters. This is equally true, whether we propose to practice the art as a profession or wish merely to understand and appreciate. Without some experience, without some technical knowledge and practice, our understanding is sure to be superficial and our apprecia tion limited. It is interesting to remember the passage of Aristotle in the Politics, 1 where he says: It is difficult, if not impossible, for those who do not perform to be good judges of the performances of others. They who are to be judges should also be performers. If we have never been performers we deny this proposition, in self-defence, but if we have ever practiced any art we know that we are better critics and better judges, just for that reason. Aristotle does not say that it is impossible for any one to be a good judge who is not also a performer. It is difficult, he says, if not impossible. Nor does he say that the performer is sure to understand; he is simply more likely to understand than any one who has never been a performer. We know, very well, how many performers there are who do not understand, who have neither appreciation nor judgment, and we are willing to admit that certain persons, not many, are good judges though they have had no technical training. We may be sure, however, that they would be better judges if they had had some training. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Handbook of Drawing Classic Reprint written by William Walker and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-10 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "All true education consists in the cultivation of the judgment," writes William Walker in the Preface to Handbook of Drawing. With this simple statement of intent, Walker imparts lessons on drawing and lessons about the nature of art. Walker describes techniques and art together, so the reader learns not to copy, but instead to see art for him or herself, and approach that readers will surely be delighted with. The Handbook of Drawing has two aims. First, the book sets out to teach the elementary principles of drawing. Second, it seeks to impart judgement on matters involving art, so that students can develop a good eye. To teach students how to draw, Walker begins with the basics: how to see, how to hold the pencil, how sketch, how to outline and how to use shade and light. The lessons are easy to understand and are accompanied by illustrations. The second half of the book touches on the essence of what it means to be an artist. There are many beautiful passages examining how to draw an object in a more natural, artistic way. For example, after describing how to draw a leaf, Walker discusses how to make it the leaf more life-like and more beautiful. "But if a leaf is so placed as to show its varied and delicate curves in front one of another then we are no longer drawing from the flat... but from an object in space, with all the exquisite changes of curve and surface, and there is now more properly a field for Art expression." The illustrations - one of a flat leaf and one of a foreshortened, flowing leaf - expertly demonstrate Walker's advice. Handbook of Drawing discusses perspective and how technical ability differs from artistic ability. Walker repeatedly warns students against mere copying, encouraging them, instead, to find their own style. Anyone interested in drawing must have this expertly written text.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from How Children Learn to Draw The methods of teaching drawing in the Ele mentary School of the School of Education in The University of Chicago during the past few years have been in the nature of an experiment to dis cover how children learn most readily to use drawing as a common means of self-expression. Two uses of drawing have been emphasized: first, its use as a means of intellectual expression which differs essentially from verbal language and there fore offers a unique method of analyzing and dealing with subjects and showing them in a new light; second, its use as a form of aesthetic expression, a means of developing artistic appreciation, and an avenue to the sources of aesthetic enjoyment.

Download or read book Classical Painting Atelier written by Juliette Aristides and published by Watson-Guptill. This book was released on 2011-11-15 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Want to paint more like Manet and less like Jackson Pollock? Students of art hailed Classical Drawing Atelier, Juliette Aristides’s first book, as a dynamic return to the atelier educational model. Ateliers, popular in the nineteenth century, teach emerging artists by pairing them with a master artist over a period of years. The educational process begins as students copy masterworks, then gradually progress to painting as their skills develop. The many artists at every level who learned from Classical Drawing Atelier have been clamoring for more of this sophisticated approach to teaching and learning. In Classical Painting Atelier, Aristides, a leader in the atelier movement, takes students step-by-step through the finest works of Old Masters and today’s most respected realist artists to reveal the principles of creating full-color realist still lifes, portraits, and figure paintings. Rich in tradition, yet practical for today’s artists, Classical Painting Atelier is ideal for serious art students seeking a timeless visual education.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from How to Paint for Pleasure: A Handbook for Beginners I would love to paint but I can't draw a Straight line! How Often has one heard that. The fact that there is the wish to paint is the thing that matters. Painting is not difficult if one just drops the self-consciousness that makes one feel incompetent. Take courage and make a start. Try not to be too self-critical, too anxious to do wonders, too proud, to be just a beginner. Even the greatest masters Of painting were never satisfied, for the amount to learn is always more than the amount learned. TO practice painting or sketching is undoubtedly soothing to the nerves, for you are usually out in the open air in front Of nature, and the smallness and petty foibles Of your daily life are forgotten. In these difficult days it is more than ever a benefit to practice an art that takes you outside yourself and gives refreshment to your inner self, which SO needs sustenance.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Laws of Fésole: A Familiar Treatise on the Elementary Principles and Practice of Drawing and Painting The publication of this book has been delayed by What seemed to me vexatious accident, or (on my own part) unaccountable slowness in work: but the delay thus enforced has enabled me to bring the whole into a form which I do not think there will be any reason after wards to modify in any important particular, containing a system of instruction in art generally applicable in the education Of gentlemen; and securely elementary in that of professional artists. It has been made as simple as I can in expression, and is specially addressed, in the main teaching of it, to young people (extending the range of that term to include students in our universities); and it will be SO addressed to them, that if they have not the advantage of being near a master, they may teach them selves, by careful reading, what is essential to their progress. But I have added always to such initial princi ples, those which it is desirable to state for the guidance of advanced scholars, or the explanation of the practice Of exemplary masters.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The American Drawing-Book: A Manual for the Amateur, and Basis of Study for the Professional Artist; Especially Adapted to the Use of Public and Private Schools, as Well as Home Instructions A knowledge of Design, even in copying, gives great advantages. If he understands the principles upon which the original is produced, there is no fear of the workman committing offensive variations. How often do we see the most beautiful designs distorted into deformity by the variation of a single line; an error of ignorance that must continually occur, until our me chanics are better instructed in this branch of education. It is a vain hope, that a work so limited as this, will supply all the information the artisan should require; but should it lead him to make a, beginning, he will so soon find his advantage in it, that he will beinduced to pursue it farther. He will have his children and apprentices instructed; he will urge the establishment of schools and collections of models, to which they can be directed; and he will in his own time see the fruits, in the advancement of our manufactures to a degree of perfection that can never exist.
