Teachers' Manual for Freehand Drawing in Primary Schools (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Teachers' Manual for Freehand Drawing in Primary Schools

That it is practicable to teach drawing in the public schools is no longer a matter of doubt; and that the study is one of great industrial and educa tional value, when properly taught, no person, who has carefully investigated the subject, questions for a moment. The drawing, however, must be wide in its range, rational, and systematic. It must be much more than Simple copying: indeed, it must be, in the main, something wholly different from that; and it must be much more than picture-making, - even good original picture-making. Those who think otherwise sadly misapprehend the scope and value of one of the most practical studies.
