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 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 Drawing Made Easy written by Edwin George Lutz and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-06 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Drawing Made Easy: A Helpful Book for Young Artists" is an instructional guide written by Edwin George Lutz. Lutz's book is intended to be an instructional for beginning artists. The book begins with a very brief introduction that features the tools required for successful drawing. While intended as a how-to guide, the book contains very little text. Instead, the pages of Lutz's book are primarily composed of step-by-step guides to drawing very specific items. Christmas trees, campfires, thrushes, pansies, storks, pigs, babies, and automobiles are only some of the items detailed in this book. A standard page features a brief explanatory paragraph and a series of steps in drawing an item, from designing the outline to filling in the details. Lutz's book is clearly intended for the beginning artist with little to no experience. While the step-by-step nature of the instruction is appreciated, the book at times does lack textual explanation. Little detail is provided on topics such as shading and perspective, and while the reader will use both of these techniques, they may not be aware they are doing so. Ultimately, "Drawing Made Easy" is a useful book as an individual's very first introduction to drawing, it is effective in guiding the reader from start to finish on a large number of drawings. This book can be recommended as a good starting point. 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 Beginning Drawing Atelier written by Juliette Aristides and published by The Monacelli Press, LLC. This book was released on 2019-04-16 with total page 129 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written by a well-known artist and best-selling art-instruction author with almost rock-star popularity in the contemporary world of representational art, Beginning Drawing Atelier, with its unique workbook/sketchbook approach, and high-quality paper, offers a comprehensive and contemporary twist on traditional Atelier art instruction practices. Atelier education is centered on the belief that working in a studio, not sitting in the lecture hall, is the best place to learn about art. Every artist needs to learn basic drawing skills. In this elegant and inspiring workbook, master contemporary artist and best selling author Juliette Aristides breaks down the drawing process into small, manageable lessons; presents them progressively; introduces time-tested principles and techniques in the Atelier tradition that are easily accessible; and shares the language and context necessary to understand the artistic process and create superior, well-crafted drawings. What makes this approach unique is the fact that it includes blank pages for copying and practicing within each lesson, facilitating traditional Atelier methods. Ateliers have produced the greatest artists of all time--and now that educational model is experiencing a renaissance. These studios, in a return to classical art training, are based on the nineteenth-century model of teaching artists by pairing them with a master artist over a period of years. Students begin by copying masterworks, then gradually progress to painting as their skills develop. Beginning Drawing Atelier is like having an atelier in a book--and the master is Juliette Aristides, a classically trained artist. On every page, Aristides uses the works of Old Masters and today's most respected realist artists to demonstrate and teach the principles of realist drawing and painting, taking students step by step through the learning curve yet allowing them to work at their own pace. Unique and inspiring, the approach in this new book offers serious art courses for serious art students.
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.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Drawing From Memory: The Cave Method for Learning to Draw From Memory Among the ancients, the knowledge of drawing was as familiar as that of letters; and how can we suppose it was not like the latter, an element of their education? The wonders of invention and science which shine not only in the relics of their sculpture, but in their utensils, their furniture, in every article they used, attest that their acquaintance with drawing was as extended as that with writing. There was more poetry with them, in the handle of a saucepan, or in the Simplest pitcher, than in the ornaments of our palaces.

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.
