EXERCISES STIMULATING IMAGINATION
The Progression of a Drawing. In this exercise the progression of a drawing is shown. A, B, C, D and E in Fig. I are not intended as separate drawings. A is the start, B the next step, and so on until the completion E.
In Fig. 2 the lines in A are partly repeated in the final drawing D E. The examples are given to show how the pictures are to be started and the order in which they should be finished. These are only suggestions and the pupil should be requested to base other subjects, either serious or comic along similar lines.
Incentive to Ingenuity. In this interesting exercise (Figs. 5 and 6) the curves on which the subjects are based are shown in heavy lines as keys to the original motif. As the exercise is intended as an incentive to the display of ingenuity, mere accuracy in execution should not be required.
Further Advanced Exercises. These are exercises similar to Figs. 5 and 6, but are farther advanced. Draw any desired curves and angles and then construct human figures based on these lines. Subjects of a humorous character will be found the easiest to produce.
Circle Exercises. Let the pupil make several circles and curves and then dispose of them in the composition of a figure. The examples in Fig. 10 will serve to show what can be accomplished in this direction.
