Présentation de l'éditeur
The course in perspective sketching from working drawings, outlined in this manual, is a result of the authors experience in teaching this branch of drawing to first and second year pupils in the Technical High School, Springfield, Massachusetts. It was found that many pupils who could readily make working drawings from models or sketches, did not easily recognize similar forms when embodied in more or less complicated working drawings. A series of exercises and problems in perspective sketching from working drawings without the use of models, was introduced into the course in drawing. The result was so satisfactory that gradually more time was devoted to this subject, and it has been found that students progress more rapidly in the reading and making of complicated working drawings after completing this part of the course. The great advantage to the student in having the power to translate working drawings into perspective sketches is that it gives him the ability to make clear in this way the meaning of such drawings to those unfamiliar with them. It is not within the province of this manual to enter into a discussion of the many theories and various principles of perspective drawing. A side from a plain statement of facts connected with the fundamental principles of perspective, the manual contains exercises and problems carefully selected in order to make suitable application of these principles in perspective sketching from working drawings. A ugust, 1908.
