Excerpt from The Canadian Drawing Course: Elementary Freehand, Object, Constructive and Perspective Drawing
A new subject is now introduced, that of Elementary Perspective, treated in the simplest manner and applied to the drawing of single objects.
In the lessons on constructive and model drawing the pupils have been taught to represent objects by drawing one side at a time, making a separate drawing for each side that required to be shown. Such representation is called geometrical, and is necessarily used in all plans, or drawings made to a scale, from which measurements are to be taken.
Usually, however, in looking at anything we see more than one side, and we observe that its apparent form changes with every change of position. An object drawn thus, not as it actually is, but as it appears to the eye, is said to be drawn in perspective.
