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.

Download or read book Chapman s American Drawing Book Vol 2 written by John Gadsby Chapman and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-05-22 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Chapman's American Drawing-Book, Vol. 2: Elementary IN answer to the numerous inquiries which have been received, by mail and otherwise, in reference to the delay in the issue of the second Number of the American drawing-book, the publisher takes this method to assure the public, that this delay has been unavoidable, without a departure from that degree of excellence in its production to which he has determined to adhere in its publication. The care and attention which the author has bestowed upon every line of the work, render it imperatively necessary, that a corresponding care and attention should be given to every branch of the mechanical department. Many of the wood-cuts in the present number, may be fairly considered equal to anything that has been done on wood, either in this country or in Europe. In all the details of the work, no pains or expense has been spared, and from the unqualified approval it has received from the public, and its extensive introduction into academies and schools, a second edition of the first number has been recently printed to meet the demand. In point of cheapness, the issue of the work has been considered a daring experiment. But resting on its merits to secure an extensive circulation, it has been given to the public without doubt or hesitation, and its reception has equalled the highest expectation. The subsequent Numbers will be issued with all the despatch consistent; with a due regard to its perfection. The Second Number completes that portion of the work, which may be considered strictly Elementary, and forms.

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.

Download or read book Art in America written by Samuel Greene Wheeler Benjamin and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-25 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Art in America: A Critical and Historical Sketch The aim of this book has been. To give a historical outline of the growth of the arts in America. But while this has been the dominating idea in the mind of the writer, criticism has necessarily entered, more or less, into the preparation of the work, since only by weighing the differ ences or the comparative merits of those artists who seemed best to illus trate the various phases of American art has it been possible to trace its progress from one step to another. It is from no lack of appreciation of their talents that the author has apparently neglected mention of the American artists resident in foreign capitals - like Bridgman, Duveneck, Wight, Neal, Bacon, Benson, Ernest Parton, Millet, Whistler, Dana, Blashfield, Miss Gardner, Miss Conant, and many others who have done credit to American aesthetic culture. But it was necessary to draw the line somewhere; and to discuss what our artists are painting abroad would have at once enlarged the scope of the work beyond the limits of the plan adopted. An exception has been made in the case of our sculptors, because they have so uniformly lived and wrought in Europe, and so large a proportion of them are still resi dent there, that, were we to confine this branch of the subject only to the sculptors now actually in America, there would be little left to say about their department of our arts.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from American Artists American art flows not from tradition but, in a specially marked sense, from the individuality of the artist. The men who have played a constructive part in the building up of our school have in many cases received their training abroad, but have used it in a fresh, very personal manner. It is in appreciation of some of these men that the following pages have been composed; in some cases to recall figures not always remembered at the present day. My chapters have been written on various occasions. I hope, however, that they have the unity which should come from years of faithful study of American art and from Whole-hearted delight in the manifestations of its.
