A Handbook Systematic Instruction in Drawing (Classic Reprint) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

This book is the first of its kind to approach drawing as a form of systematised learning that can be applied by anyone. Prior to the publication of this book, instruction in drawing typically involved vague direction and was highly dependent on one-off copying exercises. This book, on the other hand, sought to teach drawing through scientific means that honed observation and increased accuracy over time. The author believed the best way to achieve this was by teaching learners to think in terms of shapes, a skill that paved the way for further study into principles of design and composition. It introduced an innovative method that divided drawing into ten conditions, each incrementally more challenging than the last. The book comprised a collection of charts and examples that demonstrated the application of these conditions to subjects of increasing complexity. By grounding the learning process in this manner, the book aimed not only to teach drawing as a practical skill but also to enhance one's understanding of shapes and their relationships, thus unlocking greater potential for artistic expression.
