Excerpt from Drawing and Design: A Class Text-Book for BeginnersAs 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? Thedificulty 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.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
