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 Drawing for Beginners Classic Reprint written by Dorothy Furniss and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-28 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For those that have wanted to draw for a long time but may consider themselves without artistic ability, Drawing for Beginners is an exciting inclusion to the Forgotten Books library. The book starts at the very beginning, with what tools to use, hand positioning, and the best types of paper for drawing, painting and sketching. Author Dorothy Furniss then talks (and sketches) you through the drawing of a leaf. If you follow the simple advice presented, it may in fact be the best leaf you have ever drawn. From the drawing of a leaf, the book takes your through the drawing of small objects, people and their specific body parts, animals, and larger inanimate objects such as buildings and airplanes. The latter chapters tackle some of the more challenging skillsets required by any artist: perspective, measurement, composition, lighting, and shading. With clearly and concisely presented material, there is no doubt that Drawing for Beginners will improve your artistic ability if approached studiously. Of course, there is no one book that will turn a beginner into an expert, and this book is no exception. However, it can be said with confidence that reading this book will give novice artists the mental tools required to become good artists, which is about as much as you can ask for from a book. Author Dorothy Furniss puts it best: "We must think with the brush and the pencil; we must think first and then draw round our 'think.' I hope that this book may help you to arrange your thoughts. It is but a helping hand on the broad highway that leads to the great world of art." 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.

Download or read book Drawing and Design written by Edward R. Taylor and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-10-07 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Drawing and Design: A Class Text-Book for Beginners As these forms are simpler, and easier to draw than those of which the letters are com posed, it may be asked where is the difficulty and what constitutes the lesson? Thedz'ficulty is caused solely by the fact that the pupil has not learned by heart these simple forms as he has already learned the' more difficult forms of the letters. When he has brought practice and the exercise of his memory to bear on these, to him, newer forms until he sees and knows them with the same certainty as the letters, the one difficulty is mastered. The lesson is to show lines in harmony with the arbitrary forms of the letters, and pleasing arrangements of these lines, in the drawing of which the pupil will perfect his memory of them and, learning to see their value as elements for design, be led on to make other combinations - his own designs - and thus early exercise his inventive faculty. In some schools the upright written letters are taught instead of the usual slanting ones here adopted. These may be substituted if preferred.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Elements of Drawing The task of writing the book and its companion volume was undertaken by the authors, at the writer's request, while they were members of the stafi of instruction of the Department of Machine Design and Construction of Sibley College. The object in view was twofold, namely, to obtain a book exactly suited to the needs of' the Department, which we had heretofore been unable to do; and also to put into permanent shape the methods and principles used in this' work, thus forming one of a correlated series of texts which eventually, it is expected, will fully cover the entire work of the department. The authors brought to the task a full knowledge of the more advanced work of the Department, having had experience in teaching these advanced subjects in design which, with their experience elsewhere both in practical and teaching positions, was of great aid in improving and refining this more elementary work. There is nothing experimental in the principles or methods outlined in the book, as most of them have been in constant use in Sibley College for years and have been productive of most excellent results, not only in teaching the art of elementary drawing but as a preparation for the more advanced work in design.
