Excerpt from Freehand Perspective and Sketching: Principles and Methods of Expression in the Pictorial Representation of Common Objects, Interiors, Buildings and Landscapes

As ofiered to the public this course is intended to form a text book for high, normal, and technical schools and for colleges; also as a book of reference for supervisors and teachers of draw ing, and for draughtsmen and artists whose training in perspective needs to be supplemented. Where a less extended course is de sired, selections can be made from it at the discretion of the teacher. Moreover there are students so situated that personal art teaching is beyond their reach, though books could be had. But while perspective books, excellent in certain directions, have been published, it has been found difficult to direct inquirers to anything at once directly applicable to immediate use and com prehensive enough to give a working knowledge of the subject. For several years, therefore, the need which this book is intended to meet has been increasingly felt. In the hope that it may pass on to others the aid received in the past it is sent forth.

Excerpt from Freehand Perspective and Sketching: Principles and Methods of Expression in the Pictorial Representation of Common Objects, Interiors, Buildings and Landscapes

This book presents essentially the course of study in Freehand Perspective and Sketching as developed during its teaching at Pratt Institute since the founding of the institute in 1887. It consists of a series of illustrated exercises with explanatory text, so covering the subject that students who follow the course as directed acquire the power to draw with ease and intelligence, not only from objects, but from memory and from descriptions. The principles and methods here set forth have been taught by the author for some years in the above school, and have been found practically effective in that direction. In revising it the author has drawn upon its use as a text-book for large classes, as well as in other directions.

As offered to the public this course is intended to form a text-book for classes in high, normal, and technical schools and in colleges; also as a book of reference for supervisors and teachers of drawing, for draughtsmen and artists whose training in perspective needs to be supplemented, and for the instruction of students so situated that personal art teaching is beyond their reach. Since manuals for the teaching of drawing to children already exist, the methods here presented are primarily such as have been found effective with maturer minds. Its relation to the teaching of children is thus like that of a grammar to the "language lessons" of the primary schools. From it the teacher, whether of children or of adults, may select material for courses according to age or aims in study.
