Originally published in 1904. A manual for the use of teachers and students of art and design. The well illustrated contents contain many informative chapters on: Materials – Tools – Preparatory Work – Methods of Expression – Elementary Forms of Ornament – Natural Forms – Influence In Style – Application of Study. Etc. Many of the earliest art books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. Home Farm Books are republishing many of these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
