Sinopsis
Excerpt from The Practice and Science of Drawing
The best things in an artist's work are so much a matter of intuition, that there is much to be said for the point of view that would altogether dis courage intellectual inquiry into artistic phenomena on the part of the artist. Intuitions are Shy things and apt to disappear if looked into too closely. And there is undoubtedly a danger that too much know ledge and training may supplant the natural intuitive feeling Of a student, leaving only a cold knowledge of the means of expression in its place. For the artist, if he has the right stuff in him, has a consciousness, in doing his best work, Of something, as Ruskin has said, not in him but through him. He has been, as it were, but the agent through which it has found expression.

Excerpt from The Practice Science of Drawing
Permit me in the first place to anticipate the disappointment of any student who opens this book with the idea of finding "wrinkles" on how to draw faces, trees, clouds, or what not, short cuts to excellence in drawing, or any of the tricks so popular with the drawing masters of our grandmothers and still dearly loved by a large number of people. No good can come of such methods, for there are no short cuts to excellence. But help of a very practical kind it is the aim of the following pages to give; although it may be necessary to make a greater call upon the intelligence of the student than these Victorian methods attempted.
It was not until some time after having passed through the course of training in two of our chief schools of art, that the author got any idea of what drawing really meant. What was taught was the faithful copying of a series of objects, beginning with the simplest forms, such as cubes, cones, cylinders, &c. (an excellent system to begin with at present in danger of some neglect), after which more complicated objects in plaster of Paris were attempted, and finally copies of the human head and figure posed in suspended animation and supported by blocks, &c. In so far as this was accurately done, all this mechanical training of eye and hand was excellent; but it was not enough.
