Excerpt from Free-Hand Drawing: Light and Shade and Free-Hand Perspective for the Use of Art Students and Teachers
The notes on Model Drawing, forming the body of this book, were prepared for the use of the students of the Massachusetts Normal Art School. They were printed without illustrations, as explanations of the drawings given in the course of lectures on this subject, and will be of little assistance to those not taking the lectures. Having been requested for the book by persons not students of the school, and realizing that drawing is often poorly taught, especially in our public schools, and being unable to recommend a book which treats the subject simply and presents artistic methods of work, I concluded to rewrite the notes, adapting them to general use, and meeting, as far as possible, the demand for a text-book on the principles of free-hand drawing.
The book is intended especially for teachers, and at first glance the artist may think it considers more theory than is necessary. No one can be more strongly convinced than I, of the folly of teaching and depending upon theory alone.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the realm of art education, offering a critical perspective on conventional methods and advocating for a more artistic approach. The author, a seasoned art instructor, challenges the emphasis on theory and rigid techniques, arguing that they often stifle creativity and hinder the development of genuine artistic vision. Instead, the book emphasizes the importance of cultivating observation skills and fostering a deep understanding of nature's appearances.

Exploring the historical context of art instruction, the book highlights the evolving perspectives on teaching and learning art.
