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.

This book was released on 2018-02-05 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Handbook Systematic Instruction in Drawing A drawing can never be anything but an arrange ment of lines. The arrangement of lines constituting a drawing can never be anything but a copy of another arrange ment of lines which constitutes its subject. The arrangement of lines which constitutes the real subject of a drawing can never be anything but an image in the mind. The image which constitutes the real subject of a drawing can never be wholly original, but is derived more or less from something else, which it is sometimes like and sometimes unlike. It may be derived from another drawing or print, in which case the image which is the real subject of the drawing will be a facsimile of that from which it is derived; it may be derived from an object, in which case it may be no more like that from which it is derived than a straight line is like a circle; or it may be a pure invention, in which case it will be derived from many different things and be a facsimile of no one of them.

This book was released on 2018-03-21 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Practical Hand-Book of Drawing for Modern Methods of Reproduction What is wanted in the aspirant is the vocation the feeling for beauty of line and for decoration, and the powers both of idealizing and of selection. Pen-draw ing and allied methods are the chiefest (means of illustration at this day, and these qualities are essential to their successful employ. Practitioners in pen-and-ink are already numerous enough to give any-new-comer pausebefore he adds himself to their number, but certainly the greater number of them are merely journalists without sense of style; mannerists only of a peculiarly vicious parasitic type.

Download or read book Brush Drawing written by J. W. Nicol and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-06 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Brush-Drawing: A Handbook for Teachers and Students It is not intended in this work to create anything new, or to diminish the value of what has already been written on the subject of Brush-Drawing by capable writers, but to endeavour to present it in a somewhat different light, with the idea of reducing its real or imaginary difficulties, giving examples to be worked, and showing how they are derived and how they and others may be built up. Many teachers will admit a certain amount of dissatisfaction with the results they have obtained, both with regard to facility in the use of the brush and the excellence of the finished drawings. They will also confess to a wearisome repetition in the work they have done - work which has never extended beyond the preliminary stages of Brush-Drawing. Others who have interpreted the subject differently have been highly successful. The scope of the work is not expected to extend beyond the Elementary School. What is contained in it will probably be superfluous to the trained Art Teacher and his more advanced pupils. The average Elementary School Teacher is one who must be acquainted with and teach a large number of subjects, and who does not claim to be an expert in Drawing. It is for the use of such that this work is intended. The prevailing colour - green - is used as a matter of convenience, because plant life is the source of most of the drawings. It is a colour that is less trying to the eyes than some others. The idea that on no account must the pencil be used in connection with Brush-Drawing is not supported here. It should not be used largely, but in many cases its presence is better than its absence. It is hoped that the examples, while being useful as copies, will serve as suggestions for original work.

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 To those who have in view more than mere pleasure and amusement in the pursuit of the art of Drawing, may be fairly promised advantages that they will surely realize; and a portion of this work will be devoted especially to those who look to the application of the art to its most practical purposes. Most of the difficulties constantly felt by artificers in the execution of their handiwork, will be obviated, when the same hand that executes can design. Let our mechanics have their apprentices instructed in Drawing, and the effects will be soon evident in their work shops. They will no longer depend upon foreign inventions, that are, after all, little adapted to the wants, tastes, and habits of our people. Let these wants be supplied by articles, at once more useful and equally ornamental, of home production. Let them learn to use their own strength.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Graphics: A Manual of Drawing and Writing, for the Use of Schools and Families When the principles of drawing are clearly under stood, and have become familiar by practice, and before any attempt be made at Writing, the student should draw, with point or pencil, the correct forms of writing, only as extended lessons in drawing. After the eye and judg ment are satisfied, by repeated corrections and variations, what forms of letters are desirable, then, and not sooner, should the hand be trained to execute them with fluency and facility, with pen and ink. It 'is advisable that the student of drawing, if old enough, should learn to rule his own books, according to the lessons which are to be studied, and, the repeti tions which may be required. The measurement of lines, and their mechanical execution, forming an essen tial part of the system which is to be learnt, the teacher should see that they are properly done, before any use of them be attempted. If a pair of compasses are not at hand, a strip of paper may serve to mark, by dots, the proportions of lines to be ruled.

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.
