Overview

Excerpt from A Progressive Course of Inventive Drawing on the Principles of Pestalozzi: For the Use of Teachers and Self-Instruction; Also With a View to Its Adaptation to Art and Manufacture The Author of this! Course of Inventive Drawing addresses himself especially to the Teacher, his object being to guide him in his efforts to develop a correct power of design. This can, in his Opinion, only be done by cultivating the inventive faculties, making the children produce a graduated series of figures of their own creation, thus combining a correct knowledge of form with tasteful application. The Teacher, in placing the figures of the book before the pupils, making them objects of imitation, would miss the most interesting feature in the lessons intended to be conveyed. Many of the illustrations in this book were designed by a class of poor children, previously ignorant of draw ing. The gradual development of their powers increased their interest, and led them to discover that they could create forms surpassing all their previous irregular efforts.
