Synopsis

Transform how young students learn to draw with a proven approach that starts with free‑hand sketching from objects and uses a special slate to help students correct their own work.

This practical guide presents a structured drawing program for grammar grades, prioritizing observation, basic forms, and color and design study. It emphasizes student independence and gradual skill-building, with flexible pacing so teachers can adapt to their class’s needs. The book introduces a clear progression from simple shapes to more complex exercises, always aiming to awaken an appreciation for nature and art.

• Begin with free‑hand drawing from real objects and from copies or dictation


• Use the Cross Drawing Slate to test proportions and allow self‑correction


• Integrate color, design, and historic ornament into a cohesive study


• Follow a guided plan that supports teachers in planning lessons across the year

Ideal for readers of practical art education manuals and teachers seeking a flexible, historically grounded approach to elementary drawing.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Excerpt from Outline of Drawing Lessons for Grammar Grades

The National Course in Drawing is arranged to meet the needs of those teachers who believe that drawing should be taught for itself, and not entirely or principally for its value in other studies. Owing to the special attention given to free-hand drawing, this course will, however, prove of more value as an aid in other studies than any other course in drawing.

It is arranged with the idea that much of the time often spent in modeling, paper folding and cutting, in illustrative work, in ambidextrous exercises, and in working drawings, is wasted; and thus its chief difference from other courses is that free-hand drawing from objects is made the first subject of instruction, and for the first five or six years is, with color and arrangement study, the only work presented.

Besides postponing the scientific work to the three upper grades of the grammar school, this work is made much more simple than that in other courses. It deals with the principles underlying working drawings, and does not include unrelated details of construction, and subjects which cannot be understood by the pupils.

Free-hand drawing of objects is now generally from copies or from dictation, and must be of this nature as long as pupils are not enabled to correct their own work.

The Cross Transparent Drawing Slate is the only means ever presented which makes it possible for the pupil to correct his own errors, and thus to learn to draw. The slate renders copies unnecessary except for ornament and for the copying which is desirable, and it enables drawing from the object to be carried on in the public schools so successfully that the average pupil may be able to draw from Nature.
