Perspective for Art Students

About this book

"Perspective for Art Students" presents the reader with a comprehensive and beginner-friendly introduction to perspective in drawing, being an overview of it's main principles with instructions and tips on how to correctly use it in the creation of art. This volume will be of considerable utility to anyone with a practical interest in drawing, and it would make for a worthy addition to collections of allied literature. Contents include: "The New Syllabus of the Board of Education", "What Perspective Is", "Cuboid Forms the most Suitable for Perspective Problems", "Why Things Vanish", "The Picture-plane", "Objects Protruding before the Picture-plane", "Sketching and Working Perspective Drawings", "Sketching-The Three Lines", "The Distance of the Object from the Spectator", et cetera. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this book now in an affordable, high-quality, modern edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction on drawing and illustration.
