Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a systematic geometric drawing course adapted for use in common schools. The author, a translator, found that most students who'd had drawing lessons could only copy existing drawings, but this book teaches the principles behind drawing and provides a wide range of problems and exercises for developing proficiency. Beginning with the most basic lines, angles, and triangles, the book progresses through polygons and polyhedra to circles, ellipses, and other complex shapes. It then applies these principles to architectural drawings, vases, and decorative elements. The author argues that geometry, when combined with decimal arithmetic, provides a simple and precise method of drawing that enables learners to develop the precision and accuracy necessary for many professions.
