USE OF MODELS MEASUREMENTS AND PROPORTIONS
Imitation or copy drawing is valuable at the outset, as it imparts style or method of handling. To an extent it reveals the personality. By its use the pupil gains accuracy of eye-measurement, errors in that respect being more readily shown than when drawing from model.
Drawing from copy also trains the eye by giving it some means of correcting its mistake in the estimate of lengths and values of lines.
Perspective or object drawing gives a knowledge of form, color, and construction. Ideas of relation and relative sizes are thus acquired.
Imaginary and memory drawings enable the pupil to express thought and impart ideas.
Intermingling parts of all three supports, helps and explains the others.
In copying one is shown how.
In object drawing one sees how.
In imaginative drawing one thinks how.
